Package: tftpd-hpa
Version: 5.0-3
Severity: serious

In an earlier response to this report you write:

> running tftpd-hpa through inetd is no longer supported (in debian).
> however, will include a check into the initscript to fail gracefully
> when user decides to run it through inetd.

however this init script check appears not to have been implemented and
there is no visible attempt being made to notify the user of this sudden
(and fairly dramatic) change in policy.

This results in a terrible user experience all round - not only do users
have to reconfigure their systems with no attempt being made to walk
them through it, they don't even get told that this change has been made
and are supposed to figure out from a random postinst error that this
reconfiguration is required.
