Could be a good idea to have it in a separate file, considering
that it's already longer than the current README.Debian and that
it could grow further. I would advocate mentioning the separate
file at some prominent spot in README.Debian though (the top?).

The included xinetd config could also be placed in a separate
file instead (in examples?) which then only needs to be copied to
/etc/xinetd.d by the user. The same could then be done for an
initscript (cf. bug #232584) I suppose..

Hm, possibly, if it's not too distribution-specific. There are
tons of these on the net though, with varying quality. That's why
I thought it'd be good if Debian just ships its own known-to-work
one.
