Thanks for sharing this.  I might follow your procedure. OTOH it's annoying if 
it gets overwritten by updates. Can't grasp why they have it as a hard 
dependency, instead of just being on by default and easily turned off in 
/etc/default/<somefile>.
It's been a while since I messed with it, but this made me remember that it's 
close to impossible to get rid of.
