Dear Maintainer,
I do not use KDE. I use MATE, but do have many kde packages installed via
some high level kde packages. I did not install kdeconnect directly.
I did not start any KDE program.
Yet, kdeconnectd is running, and listening on port 1716 on all
interfaces, including the one on public internet directly. (I routinly
scan my computers from external networks, so this is how I found it out)

Looking at kde connect, it looks like a cool project, but maybe some form
of explicit confirmation, or starting it first should be required, before
it activates like that?
I might be ok with ssh or http server doing this, but I do not think it
is good idea to do so by most other packages just by mere fact of
installing them, but not configuring them.
kdeconnect and nftlb are really the only two packages (out of 9013 on my
system) doing this, when they probably should not.
Regards,
Witold
