Yeah! it will be a good idea to make debian users worlwide program their own deamons in assembler code, to ensure they understand how they work.
Seriously, i think you are missing the contact with reality in this issue. When you start compromising usability in favor of security, you are beening PARANOID.. And that is what is wrong in /etc/hosts.deny. Specially when we are talking about DEBIAN DEFAULTS!
Note that the majority of debian users don't have to be networking gurus by default.
