This seems to be true; anyway, on the xinetd.org site there is an article that says xinetd provides access control capabilities similar to the ones provided by tcp_wrapper. However, its capabilities extend much further [..] xinetd can control access to the various services managed by it. So in that sense, xinetd really does obsolete tcp wrappers. The Debian version is linked with libwrap, so you can also control access to xinetd *itself*. But I don't know if there is much point in this...
