Right. Years ago I put out a version of the Red Hat Postgres RPMs that
did do that, and was roundly chastized for it. An RPM is *not* supposed
to assume that merely being installed means that the user wants it to
start running a service. Otherwise, simply doing "install everything
from the DVD" would be a disaster.
