No, it only means you (or someone else) has installed xinetd and since
inetd and xinetd cannot coexist on the same system, xinetd is used
instead of the default inetd.

A 'diversion' in Debian parlance occurs when two packages occupy the
same file on a system (in this case /etc/init.d/inetd). See 'man
dpkg-divert' for a more elaborate explanation (but don't use it until
you really know what you are doing).
