Well, someone has decided to attack me for using an analogy, so I will
refrain from saying how this doesn't go with what I'm saying.
What I would like is for packages to not start a service immediately
upon installation. I don't want the installation of packages to
put put links in /etc/rc?.d. IF not that, then something like:
----------------------------- WARNING ------------------------------
Apache by default listens on port 80. Apache is now listening for
incoming internet connections on port 80. Links have been installed
in /etc/rc?.d, so that this machine will be listening for connections
on port 80 everytime this machine is booted.
Because you are running a service, it is VERY important that you
read and follow the advice at http://www.debian.org/security/
