Since this bug is wheezy RC, I'll try to contribute a little to solve it:

and to be honest I would avoid to add proftpd-mod-vroot as a strict
dependency. It is an optional (and experimental) module and the problem
would be simply resolved by installing it by hand after a dist-upgrade.
One solution to this problem is to force installation of
proftpd-mod-vroot. Either by depending on it or by merging the module back
into the proftpd package. The module is very tiny:
Compressed Size: 17.0 k
Uncompressed Size: 85.0 k
relative to proftpd:
Compressed Size: 2556 k
Uncompressed Size: 4271 k
so from the packagesize/bloat point of view depending on the package
doesn't really change much.
A weaker dependency would be to recommend it. Which would signal "only
deselect the proftpd-mod-vroot package if you really know what you are
doing" to the user. This option would pretty much keep the user safe from
harm.
If you make proftpd only suggest the proftpd-mod-vroot or won't depend on
it at all then I think that change should both be noted in the NEWS file
and in the wheezy release notes.
Hope this helps
