I guess to make it a bit more explicit, would it make sense to have 3 flags:

client - install the client   (or consider calling it file-daemon instead)
director - install the director
storage-daemon - install the storage daemon

Omit the first if we always want the client.  I don't see the need for
a "clientonly" flag if each of the two server components already have
their own flags.  If somebody doesn't want to have to know what each
of the components do they probably shouldn't be messing around with
Bacula as it is anything but install-and-forget.
