Package: sysstat Version: 11.0.1-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
this package is installed on most of my systems, mostly because I really like to have iostat available. But I do not have a use for the daemon or the two cron jobs. deamon: disabled by default, yet the init script still runs, doing nothing. cron jobs: same, but they still clutter up the logs 144+ times/day. Of course, both can be disabled more completely manually but it's a hassle and I'm not quite sure how to do it, esp. the cron jobs, The Debian Way, i.e., not confusing or breaking upgrades. One solution would be to have a debconf setting that does more than change /etc/default/sysstat, another to split the "passive" components (*stat) from the "active" ones (sa*) into separate packages.
