Comment(by eitch):

 Looking at the alternatives on not starting the service at package
 install, i came across to this post
 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856815). A workaround is to use
 the "/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" script to restrict the initialization.

 More info about this policy script:
 http://people.debian.org/~hmh/invokerc.d-policyrc.d-specification.txt

 I use chef to deploy varnish servers automatically, so creating a "stub"
 policyrc.d with exit status 101 (forbidden action for starting the
 service) ''before'' the package install, then removing it ''after'' is one
 of a ugly workaround =)

 Looking forward for a "START=no" again. :-)
