Secure testing team - Sep 2008 - Bug#497622: runs along after package removal

Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.1-13
Tags: security

IMHO, proftpd should be stopped when removing the package.
Having a running FTP server unknowingly, can be a security problem.

# apt-get install proftpd
(proftpd-basic and proftpd-mod-{ldap,mysql,pgsql} get installed)
(dc: proftpd-basic shared/proftpd/inetd_or_standalone select standalone)
# ps ax|grep proftpd
# /etc/init.d/proftpd start
# ps ax|grep proftpd
1234 ?        Ss     0:00 proftpd: (accepting connections)
# apt-get remove proftpd
(apt-get does not remove proftpd-* here)
# ps ax|grep proftpd
1234 ?        Ss     0:00 proftpd: (accepting connections)
# apt-get remove proftpd-basic
(apt-get removes also the proftpd-mod-* packages)
# ps ax|grep proftpd
# (it''s gone, good)

The problem is, that the stupid admin (that''s me) installs and
removes the package "proftpd", without knowing that they must
also remove proftpd-basic.
