Seconded.
However, we should probably distinguish between "local daemons" and
"network daemons". I think it is pretty safe to start "lpd" on every
machine, since the default configuration would not accept queries from
foreign hosts. If I install the "lpd" package, I would not like to be
asked whether this daemon should be started!
Thanks,
