sadly you are wrong, nbdswapd is running from ited as well (in debian
and ubuntu), and in ubuntu nbdrootd is also running from inetd.

while nbd swapping could be made optional in debian, ubuntu unlike
debian mounts its rootimage via nbd so there it is a hard dependency and
it would be nice to not introduce a dependency delta between the two
(indeed we will carry it if its unaviodable) since debian is well able
to use nbd root as well, it just doesnt default to it.

what was the reason to change the default mode ?
(i personaly prefer to run services on demand if they are only needed
temporarly and keep the resources clear when they are not needed)
