Exactly. That's why there is update-rc.d for both sysvinit and
file-rc which are compatible, and that's why we have update-inetd
for both inetd implementations, though I don't know if they're
compatible. Compatible in the meaning of commandline-compatible
and same commandline arguments will result in about the same
behaviour.
