inetd2rlinetd doesn't understand (udp|tcp)(4|6) as protocol

[urusha]

inetd2rlinetd script from rlinetd package doesn't support "udp4/udp6/tcp4/tcp6" as protocol. This becomes a reason for bugs like #993101

The bug exists in precise and quantal i386/amd64, here is quantal info:

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
Release: 12.10

# LANG=C apt-cache policy rlinetd
rlinetd:
  Installed: 0.8.2-1
  Candidate: 0.8.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.2-1 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How to reproduce:
# apt-get install atftpd rlinetd

It doesn't create config for rlinetd, but gives an error:
unknown protocol: udp4
; skipping service tftp

Attached patch strips protocol number from those having it, adds "family" directive and additionally fixes error string about wrong protocols.

This bug was fixed in the package rlinetd - 0.8.2-2

---------------
rlinetd (0.8.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add 1-Fix-fd_set-overflow.patch to fix fd_set buffer overflows caught
    by new glibc 1.15 hardening checks (LP: #105764)
    The fd_set buffers used by FD_ISSET, FD_SET, FD_CLR macros used to be
    overwritten usually by 1 byte or more in rare cases on systems where
    open file descriptors limit is greater than FD_SETSIZE.
  * Add 2-Add-udp4-to-inetd2rlinetd.patch to support protocols like udp4,
    tcp6 in inetd2rlinetd (LP: #1057663).
  * postinst, postrm: Fix installing/removing diversions (closes: #691778).
    The scripts fail to parse output of `dpkg-divert --list', when it is
    localized, so enforce non-localized output by setting LC_ALL=C.
