+	<para>It is possible to have a service stopped automatically as part of
+	  the deinstall routine.  We advise using this feature only when it's
+	  absolutely necessary to stop a service before it's files go
+	  away.  Usually, it's up to the administrator's discretion to decide,
+	  whether to stop the service on deinstall or not.  Also note this
+	  affects upgrades, too.</para>
