Usually, we don't activate services by default unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Is there a reason to do it with this package?

I wasn't sure if we should or not. Arch has a post script that asks the user to add themselves to the input group. Doing it this way avoids having the user do that. And I've tried several different ways and there's always a problem starting the ydotool.service. I could be missing something I haven't tried.
