Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.22-2
Severity: wishlist
Why was the AVAHI_DAEMON_START option removed from the defaults file? It's quite
standard to have an option there to simply enable/disable a service. Renaming
links in the rc*.d directories, on the other hand, is a PITA.
I only have avahi-daemon installed as some other packages depend on it, but I
really
don't want to start it.
Please put this option back as it's standard, makes life easier and doesn't
hurt anyone.

Just use a tool like sysv-rc-conf.
sysv-rc-conf avahi-daemon off
is all you need and even easier than editing conffiles.
I only have avahi-daemon installed as some other packages depend on it, but I

Nope, disabling services via /etc/default was never standard and was
always a ugly hack. There are many other reasons, so no, this option
won't be put back.
Cheers,
Michael
