The compromise in Debian has always been that a service that gets installed will be executed in a minimum configuration, if you don't want it, don't install it or remove it.
That's been the policy, but's it's stupid nowadays. It's too easy to pull in an unexpected service when installing something with all the tasks and dependency chains. There needs to be a mode where a user can say, "I don't want to be a server" and no longer needs to worry about accidentally becoming a server. Mike Stone
