Package: midentd
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: important

Last actions of the post-removal script for midentd consist in adding the 
identd configuration line in inetd.conf.

This is done although no identd would be installed.

This results in inetd not being able to start ident, and errors logged in 
syslog...

Demonstration :

1) No identd installed :

# grep ^ident /etc/inetd.conf
#

2) Install midentd :
# aptitude install midentd
...
# grep ^ident /etc/inetd.conf
ident           stream  tcp     nowait  identd  /usr/sbin/midentd midentd

3) Uninstall midentd
# aptitude purge midentd
...

# grep ^ident /etc/inetd.conf
ident   stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/sbin/identd identd -i

There is still no identd... hence the misconfiguration.

Should be fairly easy to correct in postrm script I think.
