[Bug 1384931] Re: NRPE does not respect "dont_blame_nrpe" argument

IMHO, this was a horribly bad decision upstream.  If you've restricted
your incoming NRPE source to a trusted one with UFW or similar, this is
a perfectly safe thing to do and helps centrally manage lots of
parameters.  I think a default arg of 0 was enough to keep a safe
config.  Users who choose to enable an unsafe configuration without
mitigations despite the documented warnings are idiots and the package
shouldn't be crippled as a result.

I volunteer to maintain this package in Ubuntu and build with a
different config than upstream.  Please contact me.
