I did start looking at this last weekend, but hadn't completely assured myself about its internal lifecycle management before deciding how it should best be supervised and then I had doubts about bundling service integration at all. The inetsim package does not provide services that a real production or end user host would need. I suspect anyone wanting to use this would orchestrate it in some application-specific test harness, perhaps on a VM or in a network namespace. One approach might be to remove the service integration and suggest users run it explicitly. We could come back at a later time with a well thought-out recipe. But it has a higher popcon than I would expect so perhaps the service integration is useful to people after all. Just my musings.
