Bug#1032656: bzflag: BZFlag Start Server menu errors because bzflag-server automatically runs bzfs

[Scott Wichser]

Package: bzflag
Version: 2.4.26-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: blast007 at users.sourceforge.net

Dear Maintainer,

The bzflag-server package installs and enables a systemd service that will run
an instance of bzfs with a minimal configuration. The bzflag-client package
suggests the bzflag-server package (and both the -client and -server packages
are installed by the bzflag metapackage). The BZFlag client has a Start Server
menu that allows a user to quickly configure and start a basic bzfs instance
for LAN play. However, because the bzflag-server package runs bzfs
automatically, the client fails to launch an instance of bzfs. My expection
would be that the systemd service would be disabled by default when installed.
As an aside, it might also be more useful if a configuration file in /etc was
referenced via the -conf option so that editing the service wasn't needed to
make configuration changes.
