I'd suggest I just start implementing checks rsp. on-the-fly merging
of /etc/defaults/services and /etc/services. Once I'm familiar with
the corresponding code, we could give whatever disable feature we want
some second thoughts, but for now, I think it's best to leave it out.

Anyway, if someone (let's call him "Matt") says, do it THIS WAY to
disable entries, I won't regret. :)
