Hello, I've recently upgraded, and remembered reading that some of the networking packages were split up. I opened the packages.gz file (in dists/stable/main/binary-i386) and searched for "telnetd". I found that telnetd is now its own package. I'm about to "apt-get" it. You probably need to do the same.
