severity 519316 grave thanks I just discovered that this bug was the cause of a broken LTSP server in Debian Edu. Network swap and ldm server query both use inetd to provide the service to the thin clients, and both services would fail because of this bug.
The fix in Debian Edus case is to probably switch back to openbsd-inetd, which is the inetd version we used in Lenny, as it do not have this problem and its init.d script make sure the daemon do not start if there are no services to serve, saving a little bit of memory and CPU time on the machines. Not quite sure why tasksel started installing inetutils-inetd instead of openbsd-inetd between Lenny and Squeeze, but we will do our best to make sure inetutils-inetd is not the one selected in the future for Debian Edu. The bug description and impact make me suspect this bug really should be release critical, as it breaks unrelated packages. Raising the severity to grave because of this.
