But perhaps I don't want it to run until after I modify the default
configuration. I may install a web server, but I may want it to serve
only over a LAN interface, and not over my public interface. I know I
can block this at the firewall, but I want defense in depth, and I'm
suggesting that there can be perfectly common use cases where I want
the thing installed, and eventually even running, but not just yet, or
right now.
