That's a reasonable request.  However, I wonder, how intrusive the daemon
is?  If there are no failures, it just sits there doing nothing, not taking
any significant amount of memory.  It's same as eg. smartmontools.
If the daemon is still unwanted, it can be disabled via update-rc.d or
systemd equivalent.

Splitting the two daemons away would make sense for packages that run on
resource-constrained systems, but machines that have pmem are very, very far
from that :)

Thus: could you tell me if your use case would suffer if you had to manually
disable the daemons from starting?
