Package: vsftpd Version: 2.3.4-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hardening options is a proposed release goal for Wheezy [1].
vsftpd is a FTP daemon aiming at security, so having its package compiled with the hardening options seems really like a good idea. I have rebuilt the package with hardening options enabled and there was no error (during build, or at runtime). Since you are already using dh, the only required patch is echo -n 9 > debian/compat and the package will use dpkg-buildflags, which in turn enable the hardening options. Note that PIE and bindnow are not enabled by default. This can be done using: DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+pie,+bindnow in the debian/rules file. You can control and enable/disable each hardening flag independantly, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/09/msg00001.html for details.
