I don't think that's can be it, because at some point it was a debconf
quesion, and I was happy.  Then it went away and I was sad.

Erm, judging by some people's responses, a clarification is maybe in
order?  By "doesn't enable the inetd.conf daemons" I mean these:

	#echo           stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	#echo           dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
	#chargen        stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	#chargen        dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
	#<off># discard         stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	#<off># discard         dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
	#<off># daytime         stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	#daytime        dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
	#<off># time            stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	#time           dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
