That's odd, on a potato box i installed last week the comments say to comment or uncomment things however you desire, just packages should use update-inetd. The telnetd package's portinst should add the line to /etc/inetd.conf for you, but if it didn't for some reason you can just use this command (taken from telnetd-ssl's postinst): update-inetd --group STANDARD --add "telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd" -- finger for GPG public key.
