 Is there a hole in our bucket? :) As I tried to convey, I find that all-
 or-nothing switch too coarse.

 I just took DBus as an example as it had already been named and I had
 noticed it now uses the autostart feature when I (finally) upgraded my
 personal copy not long ago. Regardless of whether the daemon *can* be
 auto-started I can see how one would not want it to be. Nothing should be
 crippled if you only ever install a single runtime dependency of the DBus
 daemon, for instance (given how the daemon is for IPC).

 FWIW, I don't see what's wrong with select ports starting this kind of
 service and above all I don't see why a single person would be able to ban
 such behaviour for the entire community.

 I've given my opinion, offered a number of solutions for the case at hand
 (MP used *in* a build system), for the rest it's now blissfully out of my
 hands.
