The bug is only reproducible when using rygel the first time.
When on a newly installed Debian Wheezy, go to rygel preferences.
rygel shows that sharing is disabled.
Close the rygel preferences window and start rygel preferences a second
time. now the sharing option is shown as enabled (box is checked)
I reproduced the bug 4 times using different versions of Debian Wheezy.
Music files in the shared folders are accessible on the local network via
vlc-player

While using uPnP on a local trusted network is ok, everyone using Debian
Wheezy on a mobile computer is possible at risk when using other networks
like public wlan.

Sorry for the inconvenience, this it the first debian bug I reported.
In case it matters, I reproduced the bug using Debian within virtualbox.
The "reporttool" results will be added.
