Bug description:
Binary package hint: tremulous-server

Summary:  Installing the means to start a server for an entertainment game automatically puts it into the /etc/rc* startup sequence, thereby potentially opening a large security hole.  This happens with little information to the end user, and should be _optional_ or offer a quick and easy way to see what is happening with the rc* startup sequences.

Affects:  tremulous-server, wesnoth-server to mention two.  I suspect there are more.
