reopen 286301 ! thanks I reopen this bug to document discussion about the default setting of portmap binding on all interfaces or lo only.
I believe that binding to lo is a better default choice than binding to all interfaces. Rationale: Many desktop users will pull in portmap with the kde -> fam -> portmap dependency chain. This is the group of users who won't understand the meaning of the debconf question (or won't see it because the yare running debconf with priority = high) and at the same time will want the portmapper listen on lo only. On the other hand I would consider users who want to run RPC services experienced enough to understand the debconf question (and run debconf with prio = medium) so they can make their choice as well. So please consider setting the default of this question to true.
