That is how it's done now and I'm going to keep it until we have rules
for consistency reasons.

I'll look into it.

The reason is that just because a package is installed it should
probably not open up something. It's no service to be enabled so as soon
as someone installs the package and has Apache running (and actually
reloads the Apache config but this is a minor detail) the app would be
accessible from outside if no further step to actually enable it would
be needed.
So either make it only accessible from localhost or make sure that some
switch needs to be toggled to enable it (like server flags as used for
mailman and ssl for example.
