Description

By default, when installing a kar file (by directly dropping the kar file into the deploy folder, or using kar:* commands), all features contained in the kar file will be installed by default.
Karaf doesn't check the feature install attribute.
The feature install attribute can contains "auto" indicating that this feature should be automatically installed.

The kar deployer should check the feature install attribute to determine if the feature should be installed automatically or not.
