I find this an inappropriate. I don't really care whether munin-mode is
started during the installation (it currently is, during 'softinst').
The problem is that I couldn't easily work around the fallout it
creates, namely, causing the 'softinst' task, and thus the whole FAI
installation, to fail. Imho, munin-node should only start when the
machine is successfully rebootet *after* FAI had its turn.

The bug #539886 looks like being applicable, too, but doesn't note the
consequences for an FAI based installation.

As I said above, I don't care whether munin-node actually starts or not
at this stage, but I'd like to contain the problem with respect to my
FAI installation. So far, my only recurse was to remove munin-node
from the list of packages to be installed.


Kind regards,
