It does make sense. Then things can relate the inetd entry to a package so one can do something like: # update-service --config auth (* = prefered, + = active) Status Package Binary options 1 * oidentd /usr/sbin/oidentd nowait .... 2 + pidentd /usr/sbin/pidentd nowait .... Choose a number if you wish to change the default[12]: You'll note this is very similar to update-alternatives' --config option. Then we can also have a similar option to guage which one is prefered (like update-alternatives does in auto mode).
