 provided after Debian bookworm's release.
 .
 If you want to keep using the netkit implementation, then install
 telnet-ssl instead.

telnetd: 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.

 telnetd-ssl instead, and run in.telnetd with the «-z nossl» argument for
 the clear-text protocol.
