The effect of this patch is to disable the pmmgr service, even if a
user deliberately installs the pcp-manager package.  Perhaps one
should infer that if the user goes to the trouble of installing it,
she'd actually like to use it.  Perhaps the cron-based pmlogger should
be disabled instead in such a case.

If the cron-based pmlogger init-scripts were separated into a separate
subpackage instead of bundled into the main pcp one, a user could even
more clearly express a preference.
