It can only do that if the inetutils-server package *has* been
installed, because the file etc/postinstall/inetutils-server.sh is part
of the inetutils-server package.  Setup can't run a script which isn't
installed.

The getent package is in category Base.  The packages from category Base
are always installed by setup, and for good reason.  If you deinstalled
it forcefully, it is not the packages fault.
