Is it worth thinking about plugin type scripts or perl modules provided by
each of the alternative inetd style packages? That way update-inetd can
just run each of the plugins in a particular directory
(/usr/share/netbase/update-inetd.d or similar).

Those plugins shouldn't be too hard to write, and teaching update-inetd
or DebianNet.pm to run them all would be trivial. The bulk of the code
in DebianNet.pm would become the standard inetd plugin.

So does that sound like a half-decent solution?

This stuff should probably be tied in with correcting the crazy netbase
and netkit-* package dependencies, so the "standard" inetd doesn't need
to be always installed.
