Thanks for the report.
All of that inetd.conf stuff is old legacy code from a migration long
long ago before update-inetd was available. I believe I will just
remove it all together as it is no longer necessary, and probably
never was in the first place.
I have a release that I am preparing to clean out some other bugs, and
will get this in there.
Cheers!

Suggested fix: use update-inetd.
Preferably do all this in postinst rather than preinst, then just
Depend
on update-inetd.
Failing that, Pre-Depend on inetd.
