I think its a step in the right direction.

I talked with guys on #obs and they said its not done in opensuse. The 
subversion package for example only has a README explaining what is needed to 
activate a subversion server. No automatic enabling/disabling of apache 
modules.

And i found nothing at all in the suse package guide so i guess that is 
correct. We will be unable to configure a system correctly for cobbler anyway 
(SSL Certificate for example) so i guess it makes sense to not enable anything 
at all. Cobbler is not for the casual user. Those that enable it should take 
care to get it right manually.
