Package: jabber
Version: 1.4.3-3
Severity: wishlist

For admins accustomed to explicitly allowing users to access a server 
with a certain username, the default configuration which allows anyone 
to register an account on their Jabber server may be a bit unexpected. 
I'd suggest it may be worth adding a warning to the README.Debian 
saying: 

"By default anyone may register an account on your Jabber server through 
the standard XML protocol. This is normal for a Jabber server in 
contrast to other protocols such as SMTP. The public registration 
functionality can be disabled in the configuration files."

It might even be a good idea to have a debconf prompt with the warning 
and an option to disable public registration at install time?
