Honestly, as a relatively non-newb when it comes to package
installation, I had _zero_ clue that the various game servers were auto
starting.

A game server is _unlike_ an HTTP / SSH / FTP / etc. server, and as
such, should probably be subject to different rules as compared with the
aforementioned examples.

A game server is, under most situations, something that you would enable
when you wish to play the game.  Very few people out there wish to run a
constantly connected and dedicated game server.  That said, you require
the servers in some entertainment packages to play them via a network
scenario with friends.

At the very least, I would suggest that a popup window should notify an
end user that the server is running automatically every boot alongside
with possible details on how to disable this feature on a  per-startup
basis.  This could easily prove useful for other servers such as HTTP.
