Comment 1 for bug 1860315

Hello Christian, thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I think your point number 2 has been discussed many times in the past, and it's one of the opinionated differences between debian systems and, say fedora ones. In debian, the opinion is that services should be running with sensible defaults right after installation. There are pros and cons to both.

The first point is a bit more concerning, though. I was just wondering what led you to this situation, given there are debconf questions covering exactly this use case.

Was it a "next -> next -> finish" type of install, and as such you got that undesired (in your case) default by accident, or was this some sort of automated install where debconf questions cannot be answered unless they are seeded beforehand, like landscape-client for example?
