Just FYI:

according to the http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4312
the fix should be fixed and backported to 1.3.6.

there's still a bug: http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4312#c5

but manual backport of the patch to 1.3.5e helped, I was able to build and
install jessie (1.3.5-1.1+deb8u2), stretch (1.3.5b-4) and sid (1.3.5e-1) packages.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
