Package: uucp
Version: 1.07-25
Severity: important

The lastest apt upgrade failed to complete because uucp's postinst
died due to the lack of update-inetd.

But update-inetd is not installed (and is useless anyway) when xinetd is.

Postinst should try to run update-inetd only after confirming that it exists.

I expect many uucp users, like me, only use it over secsh and do not
want any inetd involvement at all.  update-inetd should be a suggested,
not required.  And only ever run iff test -e succeeds.
