When xinetd starts when the server boots, it complains that the IP sepecified in one of the service descriptions isn't available.

My IP for eth0 is not configured in /etc/network/interfaces, but in the NetworkManager and I'd like to keep it that way if possible at all.

How can I make xinetd wait until the network interface is ready ?

In /etc/init/xinitd.conf there is a line start on runlevel [2345]. I changed that to start on (net-device-up and runlevel [2345]) but that still doesn't seem to help.

I found that using net-device-up in /etc/init/xinitd.conf is actually the right approach, but by default, the event fires if any network device (including the loopback device) is ready.

The full solution is to either specify that a specific network device needs to be up net-device-up IFACE=eth0 or that any network device other than localhost must be up (net-device-up IFACE!=lo).
