[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#563559: puppet - Does not start after upgrade

[Jesús M. Navarro]

Hi:

I've been surprised by the default to "no" too.

While I understand why that's the case (so there's no chance to hijack the 
system by a rogue puppetmaster upon puppet client installalation), I don't 
see why the option is not managed by debconf defaulting to "no" (won't start 
at boot time).

This way, you can have a secured install on unmanaged environments while 
making things easier for those that understand the implications but still 
want/need the package to autoconfigure the system when installed (currently 
it basically blocks an automatic deploy unless you release a local puppet 
package).

Cheers.
