"make install" for any other program doesn't add lines to your inetd.conf
either. I don't see how this is relevant.

The decision to not support inetd was made after qmail 1.03 was released and
was announced on this list. I assume that the documentation will be
corrected in the next version.
I don't really know what your agenda is here. There are a lot of different
ways to install qmail. The instructions in INSTALL work for most people.
They worked fine for me the first time, even though I had to adapt the
settings to xinetd. I didn't ask here how to configure my xinetd, I
consulted the xinetd documentation.
