========================
xinetd in debian is supposed to work with -inetd_compat enabled (you can
tweak that in /etc/default/xinetd).
Package maintainers that support xinetd in addition to inetd, will drop
files in /etc/xinetd.d/<service> _and_ add entries in /etc/inetd.conf,
enabling them using update-inetd.
If both an xinetd service configuration id and an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
match, the xinetd one will hide the inetd.conf one, even if disabled. This
trick is built to simplify the logic in update-inetd, and let the
administrators only touch xinetd configuration and don't have
/etc/inetd.conf mess with that they changed behind their back.
