I've been wanting to see netkit-inetd gone from base for many many years
now. Once, aj told me what needed to be done, and I think I even wrote it
down. Somewhere. I just have to find it again...

I personally like the modular manner of having per-service files in
/etc/xinetd.d/ or similar, and then an update-inetd can tweak services at a
per-file level.

I realise that update-inetd needs to be more flexible than just servicing
xinetd and netkit-inetd style configurations though...
