Yes, it's great that we have a desktop-task or whatever it is which allows an admin to opt for such autoconfiguration. > Also, your arguments about Debian having no defaults look a bit > empty when looking at your original bug report in which you > suggest OpenNIC as an acceptable default.

No it's not, as can be clearly seen by the numerous other correspondents asking you to reconsider your position. also sprach Michael Biebl <bi...@debian.org> [2015-04-07 23:13 +0200]: > The printer task does actually install both avahi and > cups-browsed, for the reasons you mentioned, i.e. make it work out > of the box. See above. I'd be fine with a autoconfigure-task which sets the defaults if such a task made it abundandtly clear that it ranks convenience higher than privacy. But just installing a printer spooler does not enable broadcast-based autoconf. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job" -- douglas adams
