I set `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1` in /etc/default/ejabberdctl.cfg
(iirc) and restart the daemon but epmd still listen on * instead of
127.0.0.1.

The official guide,
https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/distribution/#epmd said very clear:

"You should block the port 4369 in the firewall in such a way that only
the programs in your machine can access it, or configure the environment
variable ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS in the file ejabberdctl.cfg."

So please do either:
- Add a way to force epmd to use ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS value
- Or add some how-to to package description page:
