Package: atftpd
Version: 0.7.dfsg-7
Severity: normal

If you set USE_INETD to no then atftpd refuses to start with no error message 
other than usage(), which appears correct.
I had to dig into the source code to find out that you have to add --daemon 
onto the command line.

Two things wrong here:
1. The app just doesn't tell you what's wrong.. a generic usage() is useless in 
this case.  The man page is no help either.
2. The /etc/init.d/atftpd should be adding --daemon automatically if USE_INETD 
is false.
