Because in a day a nearly finished (I need to check I correctly
translated the setusercontext(3) stuff in terms of linux security) the
porting of the openbsd inetd, while merging in it features from netbsd
and netkit, and now debian has a new inetd way better than the old one
from netkit.
I could not have done the same thing in the same time starting with
inetutils code. I know that my code may not work on hurd (actually I
have no idea why and how hurd is different), but I'm sure it's much
simpler to make this code portable than it is to add all the features to
the old inetutils code.
