But isn't there some mechanism for configuring packaes at installation
time? I certainly do seem to get configuraton requests during
installation. And if I choose to, I can even use some kind of
dpkg-reconfigure command for doing the configuration later, again, or
changing my mind.

There must be ac way we can hook into this.

If we can't use the dpkg-reconfigure mechanism, we could still put the
autostart code into a separate package, which can be installed or not as
the sysadmin prefers?
