[Samba] documentation inconsistency

I'm running samba 3 on debian linux (both x86 and alpha), and I noticed that
the /etc/default/samba comment:

<<<
# How should Samba (nmbd and smbd) run? Possible values are "daemons"
#       or "inetd".
>>>

contradicts the actual behaviour in /etc/init.d/samba:
<<<
        start)
              echo -n "Starting Samba daemons:"
			
              echo -n " nmbd"
              start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/nmbd -- -D
						
              if [ "$RUN_MODE" != "inetd" ]; then
                       echo -n " smbd"
                       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/smbd -- -D
              fi
					
              echo "."
	      ;;
>>>						

in that only the behaviour of smbd is governed by the RUN_MODE variable.
