In my packages, I have usually not bothered with an ENABLED flag in /etc/default for a number of years, but I have not removed any ENABLED flags to keep backwards compatibility. Does Debian no longer care about easy updates, or have we accepted that updating to jessie will be a nightmare anyway and recommend reinstallation instead? Quite a number of packages also refrain from starting the daemon on an unconfigured newly installed package until the user has configured it. I guess that this needs to be replaced "by native mechanisms (i.e. implemented as a patch to the upstream software)" as well? It is not always possible to come with a working default configuration or to build one in postinst. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
