I suppose you are using debhelper. debhelper will unconditionally start
the daemon in the postinst and stop it in the prerm (which is good for
packages not using debconf). You will need to call dh_installinit with
the -n option for now, and add the relevant code to the
{pre,post}{inst,rm} scripts yourself.
Joey, do you think you could teach debhelper an alternate code fragment
for the postinst if it finds a .config script for the package?
