No, I can install a package and not have it start perfectly fine.
Worse is breakage on package *removal*, especially in situations
where the system is wrecked (e.g. package install was aborted)
anyway.

Breaking apt is more evil than some dæmon not starting during
the system run (on large upgrades, a reboot will be done anyway,
so the problem is very transient).
