Aha!  Debians netkit-telnetd calls telnetlogin:

ulysses:/tmp/inetutils# ls -l /usr/lib/telnetlogin
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     telnetd      5684 16. Aug 11:39 /usr/lib/telnetlogin*

Supposedly to be more secure, they run the daemon as telnetd, not as root.

Thanks a lot, everything is well now.  I filed a lot of bogus bug reports,
and wasted all your time ;)  I will try to pay back in code.
