I don't consider this appropriate. If you ask not to automatically configure slapd, then the package is not usable until manual action is taken and we should not mark the package as "installed". We should, however, ensure that removing the package does not fail when it's unconfigured. This is a policy violation in the init script, policy requires the init script to return success when 'stop' is called for a service that isn't running. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
