I have experienced the same problem.
Without update-inetd process:
===============
Setting up proftpd (1.3.0-15) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/proftpd.postinst: 167: update-inetd: not found
dpkg: error processing proftpd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
proftpd
After update-inetd has been installed:
===============
Selecting previously deselected package update-inetd.
(Reading database ... 149524 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking update-inetd (from .../update-inetd_4.27-0.2_all.deb) ...
Setting up proftpd (1.3.0-15) ...
Adding system user `proftpd' (UID 109) ...
Adding new user `proftpd' (UID 109) with group `nogroup' ...
Not creating home directory `/var/run/proftpd'.
Adding system user `ftp' (UID 110) ...
Adding new user `ftp' (UID 110) with group `nogroup' ...
Creating home directory `/home/ftp' ...
`/usr/share/proftpd/templates/welcome.msg' ->
`/home/ftp/welcome.msg.proftpd-new'
ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd.
** Changed in: proftpd (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: proftpd => proftpd-dfsg
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed

allows choosing "inetd" as the method for servicing even though inetd is not
