FWIW, here's snippets from proftpd.conf with two anonymous blocks.
This works on Solaris 8 (sorry, no debian boxen with proftpd here).

# anonymous configuration
<Anonymous ~ftp>
  User	   	ftp
  Group         ftp
  UserAlias     anonymous ftp
...
</Anonymous>
# 2nd anon. login has a password
<Anonymous /export/guestftp>
  User          guest
  Group         ftp
  AnonRequirePassword on
  UserPassword  uwisc  qwertYUiopasd
...
</Anonymous>
