This looks like a very good idea. There is though one case I wonder how to handle. What if one installs both rabbitmq and ejabberd on the same server? Hopefully documentation will be enough, so please make sure it is well documented on the ejabber package.

IMO the default behavior must be the one from Stretch so that upgrading a rabbitmq cluster to Buster doesn't break the world.
