Hi.
This can be disabled in a post build script by removing the initscript
directly.
If it were a build option that saves space in the target i'd say yay,
but it's not.
And it's a slippery rope since the same could be said/done to countless
other packages that have client-server functionality like openssh,
netsnmp, openvpn and so on.
Others might disagree with me of course.
Regards.
