+README.Debian for xinetd
+========================
 
- README.Debian for xinetd
- ========================
+  xinetd in debian is supposed to work with -inetd_compat enabled (you can
+  tweak that in /etc/default/xinetd).
 
-  - xinetd features an inetd.conf compatibility mode. When started with the
-    -inetd_compat option, xinetd first reads its own configuration file
-    (/etc/xinetd.conf), then /etc/inetd.conf.
+  Package maintainers that support xinetd in addition to xinetd, will drop
+  files in /etc/xinetd.d/<service> _and_ add entries in /etc/inetd.conf,
+  enabling them using update-inetd.
 
-    This mode is enabled by default.
+  If both an xinetd service configuration id and an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
+  match, the xinetd one will hide the inetd.conf one, even if disabled. This
+  trick is built to simplify the logic in update-inetd, and let the
+  administrators only touch xinetd configuration and don't have
+  /etc/inetd.conf mess with that they changed behind their back.
