Users should be able to start modify tahoe nodes configured as usual in their
~/.tahoe/, but I'm not sure this nodes should be started by the system
init. What if one of this user put a malicious configuration? Init scripts
are usually ran by root, this might be quite unsafe.

This part of the packaging concerns mostly the system-wide node,
administrated by priviledged users, typically admins of the machine IMHO.
