the real issue is that there is no longer a /etc/init.d/inetd in debian, netkit
has been removed and its two replacements use their own init script names,
applying the patch would remove the errors but would just mean that inetd would
not be restarted.
based on initial testing (i'd like a comment on this from someone who better
understands bash though, if running them isn't safe then some more elaborate
detection may be needed) it seems that when an inetd is removed but not purged
it is safe to run its init script so the following code would be better.
if [ -x /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd ]; then
invoke-rc.d openbsd-inetd restart
fi
if [ -x /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd ]; then
invoke-rc.d inetutils-inetd restart
fi
