Because of support for virtual chroots in the next release of Debian packages
this section will vanish. Maybe you can give me your opinion on the text for
the Debconf template:
Template: pure-ftpd/virtualchroot
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Enable virtual chroots ?
Chrooted users are usually restricted to their home directory.
With virtual chroots symbolic links are always followed, even if they are
pointing to directories not located in the user's home directory.
This is useful for having shared directories like a symbolic link
to /var/incoming in every home directory.
