inetd vs. inetutils-inetd



I returned from vacation today and upgraded my unstable box.  After
doing so, I could no longer connect to my newsserver on localhost.

After some poking around, I discovered that I had both /etc/init.d/inetd
and /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd, both of which were running.  I killed
all related process for both of them and just started up the inetutils
version, after which I was again able to connect.

So far so good.  I poked through /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list, and no one
there claims to know anything about /usr/sbin/inetd, which is the app
called by /etc/init.d/inetd.  I'm 99% sure that it must have arrived as
part of a package, so this seems kind of weird.  Anyone have any
familiarity with this?  Should I just delete the related files and move
on with life?
