That would be useless:
--disable SERVICE
Disable SERVICE (e.g. "ftp") in /etc/inetd.conf .
If you want to disable more than one SERVICE you
can use a comma separated list of services (no
whitespace characters allowed).
This option in update-inetd comments out the specifed service, update-xinetd
should do the same.
Also having an option that is update-xinetd speciffic would not be too
helpfull as none of the packages in debian are xinetd aware, much less
update-xinetd aware (as it doesnt exist yet).
