Bug Description

I installed mono-complete 5.18.0.240+dfsg-3 on Ubuntu 19.10 as a user, rather than a coder (to use plugins for the password manager KeePass). I then noticed that monodoc-http 4.2-3 seems to have configured a web server (XSP4) to autostart and listen on port 8084 on 0.0.0.0. This might be considered a security risk and perhaps the server autostarting might not be considered ideal.
