and ideally ubuntu, as well, to keep the diff as small as possible...

no, there is no inetd dependency in the ltsp-client package.

i switched the dependency for ltsp-server to prefer openbsd-inetd, in an
attempt to close this bug. 

ubuntu's netbase does not depend on any inetd, so would increate the
diff between ubuntu and debian ltsp packages to not specifically depend
on an inetd(and i don't think openbsd-inetd is in ubuntu's main,
either).

but if we really *have* to switch to depend on "netbase" for debian, we
can do that.

live well,
