I'm sorry, my logic was leaping this morning :) I meant that I don't
see why netbase needs to be split into two pieces. The only reason I
can image for splitting is if you need to replace files from one
package by another (hence my leap of logic). I think the best solution
is for an improved /etc/init.d/netbase perhaps in conjunction with
update-alternatives?? Or maybe splitting /etc/init.d/netbase into two
files one of which xinetd would Replaces:?? I'd like to hear what
Peter thinks.
