I'm not sure what we should do about this. invoke-rc.d doesn't seem to sanitise the environment at all, so I imagine nearly all packages have exactly the same bug. Moving to Upstart would fix this, since with Upstart we can instruct the init daemon to start the job rather than having to run the init script as a descendant of the postinst. I wonder if it's really worth going around trying to sanitise the environment all over the place when we should be able to switch to Upstart in the not too distant future anyway?
