Is it possible to prevent aptitude from automatically running services
after install? That is, when I install some daemon or some other
package with a start script in /etc/init.d, e.g. bind or ferm, I don't
want that init script to be executed. This is annoying when services
are started before I have configured them, and also if I build a
system with debootstrap, then chroot into the new system to install
some further packages and then services are run or netfilter rules are
changed on the build system.
Yes, that's possible. Create a script /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d with a
single line containing "exit 101" and no services will be started at
package installation time¹. See
/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.{policy,invoke}-rc.d.gz.
Looking through the man page of aptitude I haven't found an option to
do this.
Because that isn't really related to aptitude, it doesn't matter how you
install your package.

¹ Well, at least if the package maintainer follows the rules and uses
invoke-rc.d instead of executing the init script directly. Doing the
latter is a serious bug, though.
