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.
