Yes, and thus given a inetd.template inetconv should basically do not
more and not less than (left out the fine tuning):
cat /etc/inetd.conf | egrep -v '^[:space:]*#' | \
while read svcname endpoint proto waits suid prog firstarg args ; do
if [ -n "$args" ]; then
toexec="$prog $args"
else
toexec="$prog"
fi
sed -e "s, at svcname@,$svcname," \
-e "s, at endpoint@,$endpoint," \
-e "s, at proto@,$proto," \
-e "s, at waits@,$waits," \
-e "s, at suid@,$suid," \
-e "s, at toexec@,$toexec," \
/usr/lib/svc/inetd.template \
>/var/svc/manifest/network/inetd/$svcname.xml
done

Or add a note to inetconv output like:
In case /var/svc/manifest/network/$file is not what you want,
svcadm disable inetd/$svcname
svccfg delete inetd/$svcname
customize /var/svc/manifest/network/$file as you like and re-import with
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/$file

Yes, and that's why it should not even try to think but just convert the
appropriate lines as is and thus in a predictable manner!
