But hurd is not a releasable architecture, so bugs are not RC.

/etc/inetd.conf is currently created by netbase, if hurd does not use
the netbase package then its replacement too should create inetd.conf.
Or at least it should do this until a better solution is designed.
So far it's not obvious which package should create inetd.conf, so I
think that we can safely continue ignoring the issue for a few more
months since it does not affect real systems anyway.

Adding a dependency on netbase to update-inetd would create a dependency
loop, which I understand is a bad thing. But this does not really matter
because post-etch netbase will become an essential package for unrelated
reasons.
