AFAIK it is Debian (and Ubuntu) policy for all packages to auto start services.

AFAIK it is Debian (and Ubuntu) policy for all packages to auto start services. And it is also quite difficult to pre-set package config files before installing, especially if you want to script it with a configuration manager like puppet. I can't recall ever seeing a package in the official repositories for which this is not the case, and it is a real and genuine pain point in using Debian as a server.
