I solved it for my package (efingerd) by removing every possible
existing fingerd entry and putting there mine (in postinst),
and removing it in prerm (assuming that other finger daemons
should be intelligent enough to add the line for them when it
is not in inetd.conf at all - and they are doing it, I checked)
