In the long run, we might have to extend the vocabulary of xinetd fragments to support features that will be unique to a brand new inetd. To deal with that scenario seamlessly, we're best passing xinetd fragments through the conf translator anyway, even though it won't have to translate/strip anything until that shiny brand new inetd comes along. -- debtags-organised WNPP bugs: http://members.hellug.gr/serzan/wnpp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
