reassign 430849 update-inetd
thanks

This is a problem of update-inetd which lacks completely the
hostname/addresses list prefix management. I managed
to add a pre-check before adding the ftp line in 1.3.0-25. but update-inetd
--enable/--disable does not work anyway and that should be the
right program where parsing should be done correctly.
