That's the telnet client.
Personally, I'd recommend:
apt-get remove --purge telnetd telnet
apt-get install telnet-ssl
telnet-ssl will attempt to use SSL for outgoing telnet connections (for
servers that don't have ssh installed), but falls back to plaintext if that's
all the remote system supports. There's also a telnetd-ssl, but what do you
need that for if you're running sshd?
