 No shit, Sherlock.

Indeed, it seems to me that failing silently is not correct.  But what
do you think is the right thing to do instead?  Force removal of xinetd
with conflicts?  Force stopping xinetd in the postinst won't fix it
completely, because both will be trying to be started again when the
machine is rebooted, won't they?

I believe the problem is the #!/bin/sh line of /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd.
It uses the -e switch and when start-stop-daemon exits with a non-zero
