Package: netbase
Version: 4.25
Severity: important

aj,

Please would you consent to the removal of netkit-inetd from the netbase
Depends:

Depends: ..., openbsd-inetd | netkit-inetd, ...

Currently, netkit-inetd is in a very poor state, and is never going to
be IPv6-capable.  The upstream tarball won't build, has a duplicate copy
of itself embedded in it, and contains i386 ELF objects and binaries.
The source quality is also pretty bad.  I would for like it to be
removed from the archive given its poor condition.

Current etch installs install openbsd-inetd by default, rather than
netkit-inetd, and it would be appropriate if users upgrading from sarge
were also upgraded to openbsd-inetd so that all our users get a modern
and supported inetd.


Thanks,
Roger
