I don't want the service to start at installation time only. It seems
that as soon as there is a Init-script in the package, dpkg seems to
start the service.  So I'm looking for a way, to tell dpkg/apt/aptitude
not to start the daemon during installation.

As to why? The installation goes together with a firmware upgrade of a
RAID-controller and this needs a reboot afterwards. And the daemon must
not start only to be shut down again after a few seconds when I reboot
the server.

I know, thanks.
