I agree. This is also an issue when you do something like 
dpkg --root=/mnt -i foo.deb -- when you do that, you don't typically want
the daemon to be started.

Maybe there could be a dpkg option that sets an environment variable visible
inside the maintainer scripts that says daemons should not be stopped or 
started?
