I don't agree. When I install Debian on a laptop or workstation, I only want what I need, and most of the time I don't want a SSH or FTP server. But the day I need it, I install it and I want to use it right away to connect to my personal account. I don't want to spend minutes or worse understanding how to start it reliably and safely.
