Another problem that is looking for a solution is programs such as apache
or dnsmasq which binaries may be used by other software (gnome-user-share,
virt-manager...) but shouldn't be running daemons in this case.
It is especially a PITA when installing and using the daemon screws up your
setup (happened to me with dnsmasq)
