Package 'inetd' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded.
But I have it installed (I can for example see its man page man inetd and even run it):
$ inetd
inetd: non-root must specify a config file
so how to remove this package?

The package name in Ubuntu is openbsd-inetd.
$ apt-file search bin/inetd
openbsd-inetd: /usr/sbin/inetd
rlinetd: /usr/sbin/inetd2rlinetd
inetd is a virtual package which explains why you were able to remove it yet still it did not remove that binary.
