I see no reason why *Debian* systems should have an inetd installed unless there is another package installed requiring its services. This can be handled through package dependencies. If the admin wants to add their own services (i.e. not installed by a dependency), they can just install it by hand. If there is nothing using inetd, it's just bloat in the base install. While it's probably best to leave it installed by default for etch, I think fixing up all inetd-using packages to have proper dependencies, and then removing the dependency from netbase would be a worthy goal for etch+1.
