the missing dependency is upon netbase. I've added it, and NMU-ed the package in DELAYED/2 considering the fact that the fix for that bug was trivial. I also updated debian/copyright to contain more complete informations, and a missing copyright. Note that calling /etc/init.d/inetd directly is a violation of the policy.
