thanks, i'm glad you like it.

yes, this is probably a good idea.  Patches to the docs are welcome, if
you can get around to writing them before i get to it :)

fwiw, nothing is auto-started at all -- the systemd user session opens
the sockets, but doesn't launch any daemons if the sockets are never
used.

Put in more systemd-ish terms: it's the .socket units which are
automatically enabled, not the .service units.

does that change what you want to happen?

Regardless, i agree with you that README.Debian should be improved as
you describe.
