I had no cups-bsd package yet (not pulled in by dependencies anymore), but even
if I had this is not set (by default) anymore
db_get cups-bsd/setuplpd
So it didn't trigger for me.
$ echo "set cups-bsd/setuplpd true" | debconf-communicate
$ apt install --reinstall cups-bsd
Now I see the code you mention, but also the outdated warnign btw:
Note: xinetd currently is not fully supported by update-inetd.
Please consult /usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian and itox(8).
This does no more create such a file.
I assume you got that created back in the days of "inet" and then later got it
upgraded when it became "xinetd".
These days no one would have that via xinet anymore
There actually isn't even lpd anymore by default, but if needed (e.g.
for ancient environments) there are community infos about that as well

for xinetd / lpd processes.
xinetd is what is run, and when the right combo of ports/types is connected it
will spawn lpd.

"the only reason I have cups-bsd installed is that I was used to typing
'lpq' to see if there are any jobs stuck in the print queue."
If that is the case I think you can let go of cups-lpd / cups-bsd.
And check your queue via:
$lpr -Pqueuename file => $ lp -d queuename file
$lpq -Pqueuename => $ lpstat -o queuename -p queuename
