That remembers me a point: maybe it makes sense having a debhelper
dh_ script to manage automagically the call to update-inetd when available
or eventually warn the user to install update-inetd and update
inetd/xinetd configuration manually, when update-inetd is NOT available.
That would avoid to depend on update-inetd or inet-superserver at all
Having a snippet of code like that replicated for every package is pointless.
Also, update-inetd is a very partial solution for managing superserver
configurations, but that's another problem...
