I just ran into another netkittelnet issue:

It appears that netkittelnet assumes that inetd was installed by netkitbase,
but it's Config.in does not specify such a dependency:

config BR2_PACKAGE_NETKITTELNET
        bool "netkittelnet"
        help
          Standard Linux telnet client and server.

          ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/


If the telnetd in busybox is equally good, perhaps netkittelnet should just be
removed in favor of including the busybox options in the main menus?
