That's true, but is so simple to stop these daemons or to patch (much better) the source code - for me it's bad idea such behaviour at the current state - so one should be able to modify manually and automatically (via interface) all the stuff.. Furthermore as we know Debian's service management serious differs than SuSe's (not only because System V/BSD init's) so one day it will be mandatory to change such behaviour, if we want clean "Debian way" app... Otherwise, in such meaning we can make in Debian /etc/sysconfig but this is very ugly and dirty solution for me..
