Hi,

as  a Debian/LXD user I Don *not* expect a default image to listen on the 
network - especially with Lxd that has an easy to use built-in console/shell 
access.

That way I can for example install and expose only opensmtpd as a public facing 
mail server, and not worry that any other component (eg openssl) allows remote 
login etc.

For certain deployments it might make sense to expose ssh on a "container" or 
single-service/single-purpose image/vm - but not in general, IMNHO.

Best regards,

Eirik Schwenke
