although the question remains, who writes the log? syslog? or proftpd?
if it's syslogd, then yes, rotation should be in syslog package
but if it's proftpd writing it directly, then it should be in proftpd package.

but in latter case i believe proftpd should be reconfigured to use differeng 
logfile.
