Package: ipkungfu
Version: 0.5.2-3
Severity: critical
Justification: renders entire system inaccessible

Don't do this:
# apt-get install ipkungfu

Because then you have to do this:
 - Grab spare monitor and keyboard
 - Lug spare monitor and keyboard across the room/city/state/country
 - Crawl into corner where machines are stacked
 - Plug spare monitor and keyboard in
 - Shut down (or purge) ipkungfu
 - Unplug monitor and keyboard
 - Return monitor and keyboard to their rightful resting places

Not happy. At least my spare monitor and keyboard only have to travel a
few metres. I'd be *pissed* if I had to drive across town or wake
someone local up to fix it.

Simplest fix: add /etc/default/ipkungfu with ENABLED=false, source the
file in the init script and only start if ENABLED is not "false".
