Package: vidalia
Version: 0.1.15-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

In README.Debian, in order to prevent Tor to start automatically at boot
time, it is suggested to use:
   # update-rc.d -f tor remove

This suggestion is a bad one.  When startup links are removed this way,
they will be created again on the next upgrade (or reinstallation) of
the tor package.  Thus enabling it again on startup.

Using the "disable" option of "update-rc.d" would probably be a
better suggestion, here.


But maybe it would be more user friendly to either:

 a) Ask (through debconf) about disabling Tor startup links; with
    "no" as a default; and do it in the postinst script.
 b) Change tor init script so that it does not start the daemon itself
    when a specific setting (maybe in /etc/default/vidalia) is set.
    This setting value could be asked through debconf as well.

I am unsure about how policy compliant is option a).  Option b) would
need coordination with weasel (tor's package maintainer).

Feel free to clone this bug to follow up on the previous ideas.

Cheers,
