It's not a bad solution, but on fully-loaded systems, the number of chkconfig 
options might get a little out of hand. 

In other news, the maintainer of netbase is against removing the netbase 
dependency on netkit-inetd, but I can't really seem to tell why.  I've looked 
at his posts on debian-devel and in the BTS, but I haven't found a good 
justification for the dependency yet.  If anyone does know Anthony's reasons, 
I'd like to hear them.
