Fortunately, the inetutils-telnetd package in Debian depends on inetutils-inetd | inet-superserver, so it should bring in an inetd automatically if one isn't already present. I'd really like to hear why the OP is trying to build a third-party telnet daemon instead of simply installing inetutils-telnetd which should work out of the box.
