Hi,

As described in this Launchpad bug [1], there are/were issues between
openbsd-inetd and netkit-tftp in terms of the correct tsize being
reported from the client to the server. Changing the dependency to
xinetd addressed these issues in Ubuntu.

It's possible that this is no longer relevant/needed, but I wanted to
forward it so that we can see if it makes sense for Debian/so that we
can drop our delta in Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/control: Change dependency from openbsd-inetd to xinetd
    so correct size is reported

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan
