So?  The guy has made his own choice here.  Let him be.  What I
*would* suggest is that he instead puts it into /opt/proftpd/ or
/usr/local/ as the base directory ( ./configure --prefix /opt/proftpd
....) instead, so that it won't conflict with Ubuntu packages.

Unless you want to.

Ubuntu uses dpkg-buildpackage as I understand it...

This makes no sense.  OS distro packaging tools isn't more or less
open source.  It's a means of keeping track of versions and
dependencies in a simpler way.  But I've been doing package builds for
30 years now and it's not rocket science.

So lay off the poor guy and either help him, or at least make
constructive suggestions.

That's the joy of open source, you can do it however you like, you
don't have to listen to others.

Now maybe I'm reading too much grumpiness into Benny's reply, and if
so I apologize!  *grin*  But in this case, he's trying to do a build
and maybe if we help he can learn and grown and maybe even contribute
back to proftpd or other packages.
