Please read this post. It seems the Debian xinetd package is tracking a
dead version of xinetd.

On a related topic: xinetd development seems to have forked some
time ago, both projects keeping the name xinetd. Now, AFAICT, the 2.2.1
branch has been effectively dead for more than two years. The other
branch seems to be alive and well, the latest version is (confusingly)
2.1.8.6b5, and can be found at
http://synack.net/xinetd/
At least some of the issues addressed by your patch have been fixed ---
but I didn't check the details.
Regards,
Liviu Daia

Hi people,
All these problems you reported against Debian xinetd package
are fixed now. Please upgrade, if you can.
In case you wondered, the bugs haven't been closed until now because the
package maintainer wasn't around, and the package is in fact orphaned. I am
doing this as a member of the quality assurance group.
Thanks for reporting...
