I don't think so. quagga only suggests snmpd, so it cannot be installed
by mistake. The list of packages Recommending or Depending on snmpd is
very short and they look reasonable.
How did you come to conclude that more people install snmpd by mistake
than because they actually want to use it?
Daemons should be installed with the configuration which would be useful
for the largest number of users.
