Use checkinstall to build a deb of compiled source

You might try the following:

Use "apt-get source proftpd-dfsg" to download the source that is the newest one in Ubuntu together with the Ubuntu addons, Then replace the source in your build directory with the current version and build a new package with debuild command.

yes it would be great to do that so easy, but it does not work that way, debuild says :

I did remove tests dir :) after changed the format in debian/source/format from 3.0 (quilt) to 3.0 (native). http://askubuntu.com/questions/226495/how-to-solve-dpkg-source-source-problem-when-building-a-package it solved mentioned errors.

Why compile any way (not like its bad, it's good that people want to compile) but are you trying to get a newer version, or is this for fun?
