Bug#402319: lintian: does not detect `inet-superserver' for update-inetd

[Tatsuya Kinoshita]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: normal

If maintainer scripts call update-inetd and depend on
`openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver' (not `netbase | update-inetd'),
lintian displays the warning message
`maintainer-script-needs-depends-on-netbase postinst'.

However, I think `openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver' is enough.
Because the virtual package `inet-superserver' provides
features of an internet superserver including update-inetd.

Please detect `inet-superserver' for checking update-inetd.

Thanks,

Sounds right.  The current check predates that virtual package.  I'll make
this change.
