My main concern wasn't the orphan inetd issue, for which fixing #162581 would 
be the correct fix.  It seems to me that currently netbase is a user package 
to ensure a reasonable networking environment -- which is much more than what 
most source packages Build-Depending on netbase need.

If you're suggesting that with a move of update-inetd then netbase would 
become more like the netbase-data I was suggesting as an alternative, with 
minimal dependencies, that would be fine with me.
