Description: transitional dummy package for inetutils-telnetd default switch
This package will force a switch from the old netkit telnetd implementation
to the inetutils-telnetd one, which is an upstream maintained project.
.
This package can be safely removed once it has been upgraded, as
inetutils-telnetd provides a matching virtual package. It will stop being
provided after Debian bookworm's release.
.
If you want to keep using the netkit implementation, then install
telnetd-ssl instead, and run in.telnetd with the «-z nossl» argument for
the clear-text protocol.
