[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#658245: postinst should not change /etc/inetd.conf on upgrades

Package: swat
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze6
Severity: normal


I have the following custom inetd.conf setup for swat (to make it listen only
on localhost):

#<off># swat            stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/swat
localhost:swat          stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/swat

During upgrades the "listen on all interfaces" is activated by the package postinst script:

swat            stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/swat

I believe that should only happen on new installs, not on upgrades.

Wishlist: On new installs it should only listen on localhost by default.
