Not good enough. Not even close.

meh, if the default install has all of the inetd services disabled then
it's idiotic to have an inetd installed (and just fucking insane to
actually have an inetd *running*). Things which need inetd *should* be
required to Depend on it (or some virtual package which provides it).
Packages which can run both with and without inetd could 'Suggest'
the virtual inetd package.
