My understanding is rpm's which install a service do *not* start the

make the system usable, these are well known. It is permissible to
perform a condrestart in %post, but this is just respecting the existing
configuration on the box.
AFAIK, there are no guidelines -- look through the wiki and see if you can
find any?
I can't find any and I'm a bit surprised about that - I think there was a
recommendation in the fedora.us guidelines that recommended "everything off
unless there's a good reason for it to be on by default" which IMO is a good
rule of thumb.
