I think /usr/libexec (or /libexec on the Hurd) is a good
place to put small daemons like telnetd, ftpd, etc, that
only have one file (the executable).
I guess you could also have
/usr/lib/ftpd/ftpd
/usr/lib/telnetd/telnetd
/usr/lib/midentd/identd
etc
but having one file per directory seems a bit wasteful, to
me. However, for heimdal-servers, I have put all daemons under
/usr/lib/heimdal-servers.
I rather dislike the practise of putting these programs under /usr/sbin
or /sbin, even if it is possible to get them to run in standalone mode
without the aid of inetd.
