Debian packages like to auto start processes during install, with default configurations, generally not even close to the desired configuration. That's annoying. Lets make it less annoying.

• Debian/Ubuntu

• Chef 12.1+

• None

Add to your run list, or include in a recipe, or how ever else you feel like getting a recipe compiled and converged:

run_list("recipe[deb_pkg_unautostart]")

There's even an option to get this dropped during the compile phase in cases where you can't get to the start of the run list, or you have packages that are being installed during the compile phase.

override_attributes(
  :deb_pkg_unautostart => {
    :compiletime => true
  }
)
