inetd and time/udp and ipalias

inetd in debian (sure about inetd in netkit-inetd 0.10-9 in woody, from the source almost sure about 0.10-10.2 in unstable) has a problem: for time/udp (and probably all builtin udp services!), if the client connects to the server on an IP that is an IP-alias, the reply is discarded by the kernel of the client.

I have found hints on the web, I'm just wondering whether anyone *alread* has a patch for inetd to fix that?
