Also notice that the startup script is not up to date, so systemd fails
to disable it:

$ sudo systemctl disable wesnoth-1.12-server.service 
Synchronizing state of wesnoth-1.12-server.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable wesnoth-1.12-server
update-rc.d: error: wesnoth-1.12-server Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.

Title:
  Installing a server for a game automatically auto-inits and runs every
  boot.

Status in tremulous package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in wesnoth package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in wesnoth-1.8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
