Maybe it should be something more like:

  Description: Configure Icecast2?
   Choose this option to set up passwords for Icecast2. Until these are
   configured the server will not be activated.
   .
   You should not use this option if you have already manually tweaked
   the configuration of Icecast2.

(If I have in fact already got an edited configuration, and therefore
choose to leave Icecast disabled, how do I turn it back on?)

Oh, and another afterthought: the templates talk about setting up an
administrative web user interface, but the control file gives no hint
that Icecast uses one.  It would probably be a good idea to mention it
in the package's long description.
