Well, me too I guess, probably too late anyway.

The only other distributions I've found (after a cursory look)
shipping inetutils at all are ArchLinux and NixOS which do ship 1.8.
<http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/inetutils/>
<https://svn.nixos.org/websvn/nix/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/tools/networking/inetutils/default.nix>

Yeah, sorry for not including a reference here. The change was not
complex after all, but it demanded a change in semantics on the protocol
values from inetd.conf, which upstream acked (patch been merged by them
too), so that's alright now.

I ended up uploading what I had in preparation in my git tree to
experimental some time ago, as I didn't want to end up having to upload
via t-p-u (which is supposed to be usually frowned upon). I also
included fixes for a segfault (#515070), tcpmux services and disabling
libopie-dev per Julien Cristau's request.
If you'd still be fine 1.8 going through unstable after whatever period
of time you deem necessary, I'll happily upload it there. Otherwise I'll
have to cherry-pick the important changes for 1.6.
thanks,
