Package: proftpd-basic Version: 1.3.3a-6squeeze1 Severity: normal
As seen below, proftpd-basic requires the installation of update-inetd, which is listed in the "Depends:" field. I believe this is totally wrong, because - proftpd-basic runs just fine in standalone mode - there is no point in having update-inetd on a system without any inetd implementation - proftpd-basic already (correctly) suggests "openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver" and update-inetd should be pulled in by one of them, not by proftpd.
