Package: update-inetd
Version: 4.27-0.2
Severity: important

During package upgrades, the message from

  update-inetd --add "www ...."

is seriously misleading. If there already exists an entry for the port, but
which is commented out in /etc/inetd.conf, like:

  #www ...

the program claims to report that a new 'www' entry is being added:

  --------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS ----------
  The following line will be added to your /etc/inetd.conf file:

  www\tstream\ttcp\tnowait root\t/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/micro_httpd /var/www

  If you are indeed using xinetd, you will have to convert the
  above into /etc/xinetd.conf format, and add it manually. See
  /usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian for more information.
  -----------------------------------------------------------

Checking the /etc/inetd.conf however reveals that no such entry has
been installed.
