On Ubuntu 16.04, I was hit by the unexpected (by me) behaviour of wesnoth-server, and noticed it just now (after probably 6 month running the server on each boot. My first idea was to go to /etc/default/wesntoh, looking for a ENABLE=1, but there is none.

So I think that:
- the fact that the server will run on each boot should be much more obvious on installation
- there should be simple way to disable it (something like /etc/default/wesnoth)

I support the view that installing a game server is most of the time for playing a network game occasionally, and running a permanent game server is probably a less frequent use case (which might require explicitly enabling the server on boot)
