Isn't this for openssh-server pkg?

Hi,

but, don't start at boot ==> rm /etc/rc*.d/K<pkg>
is the right thing (tm) IMHO^W.  Only install the stop links
and check in postinst if start on boot is true: install start links.

2 euro ct: Instead of inventing new special solutions for one pkgs,
it's better to spend it on enhancing runlevel management tool(s).

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
