Note that having the *userspace audit package installed* and having *audit
syscall auditing enabled* are not the same thing; in fact the proposed way
to disable syscall auditing *requires* the audit package.

I don’t have a very strong opinion on either one from a “security” point of
view.

Beyond that, generally I’m not too enthusiastic about having the various
products too different in configuration defaults in ways that are not
obviously expected for the product in question (i.e., a “purposefully
minimal” image removing packages from the default set is expected; the same
image changing the syscall audit configuration is, I think, not).
