Bug#159385: general: install a package but don't have it's magic funcionality on by default

[Dan Jacobson <jidanni@dman.ddts.net>]

Package: general
Version: N/A; reported 2002-09-03
Severity: minor

First examine a bug report I sent regarding a typical package, "bl":

My idea of inviting bl onto my computer was that it would be there
when i need it, but not on by default.  as there is no easy way of
configuring it not to start on login, therefore i am removing it.

That's the problem with debian, for me.
