Dear Maintainer,

Lets say I want to have smartctl tool available, to inspect some faulty
or close to faulty drive.

But there is no way to do just that, as installing smartmontool will
automatically start doing automatic things on this disk!

I think it is not desirable to ship systemd service files and init
scripts for smartmontools deamon, in the same package as smartctl itself.

I would suggest moving smartd and its related files to separate package.
