Hello, To summarize :
1) This reverts an expected and accepted behavior in the Debian community where daemons should start when installed with an adequate and secure configuration. Other ftpd packages like pure-ftpd, twoftpd, tftpd-hpa and muddleftpd among other all do start upon install. 2) This breaks the DEP8 test debian/tests/smoke that expects the vsftpd service to be running. You might want to fix this or disable the test. This is how the change in behavior got detected. 3) The installed vsftpd configuration is not considered secure enough to be enabled by default. Thank you for looking into this. Kind regards, ...Louis -- Louis Bouchard Software engineer, Ubuntu developer / Debian Maintainer GPG : 429D 7A3B DD05 B6F8 AF63 B9C4 8B3D 867C 823E 7A61 -- Louis Bouchard Software engineer, Ubuntu Developer / Debian Maintainer GPG : 429D 7A3B DD05 B6F8 AF63 B9C4 8B3D 867C 823E 7A61
