Hi,

Thanks for the updated patch.

Depending on update-inetd directly is the wrong thing to do. Instead
the package should depend on an inetd, and rely on that to
provide update-inetd. As the packages already depend on an inet
server the update-inetd change can be dropped.

You state that Ubuntu adds the dependencies on the inetd, but your patch
suggests that Debian already depends on them.

Also your patch adds a dependency on netbase, but this isn't in the changelog.
Why is the dependency added? Is it still needed? Should Debian also add
that dependency?

Thanks,

James
