Imagine a company or institution which simply forbids or limits using such 
stuff as it is still a security risk. Saying enable=false in the global 
config file, they can still use pre-built deb's/rpm's.

I must admit that I am not sure if it's needed at all, as I can not decide 
if my approach is really safe or not. I only know that many sysops tend to 
be conservative here, so IMHO it's nice to have a choice.

Just my ¤ 0.01, though...

Albrecht.
