Clause 8.2.1 of both RFC 2257 and 2741 name /var/agentx/master as the well
known port but allows other ones to be specified.

The reason Debian chose to move it to a not so well known port is that someone
perceived that it was better in line with LSB.

I strongly oppose this change and claim that it is a bug in Debian that should
be treated as such.
