Yes you've misunderstood the meaning of default, I'm sorry because
this is probably my fault, as English isn't my native language. So,...

Variables set with foo_enable=[yes|no] will maintain the behavior they have now.

Variables set with foo_enable=ask will be treaded as follows:
- user is asked to enter yes or no at startup,
- if after the default-timeout or daemon-specific-timeout is elapsed
the user hasn't still chosen, a default-response or
daemon-specific-response is taken into account to decide whether the
daemon is to be started or not.

What is debatable, is to decide whether the default-response is to set
to "yes" or "no".
