This has bugged me too. Is anything speaking against changing inetd to
accept an /etc/inetd.conf.d/ directory where packages can just dump a
file containing their own entries? That way one (as admin) could also
easily customise the line and wouldn't get complains from update-inetd
on every package upgrade.
