If the ltsp is to work in both sarge and etch, it is a good idea to
not drop the netkit-inetd dependency.  debootstrap in sarge insist on
installing netkit-inetd.

It would be better for ltsp if netbase stopped depending on inetd, as
ltsp do not need inetd, and would like to avoid pulling in unused
binaries in the boot environment.

Please change netbase to not depend on inetd.  When it is done, we can
drop the dependency on inetd in ltsp for the next stable release of
Debian.
