The /var/lib/dpkg/info/wwwoffle.prerm script contains:
set +e # ignore errors while stopping
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/wwwoffle" ]; then
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
invoke-rc.d wwwoffle stop || exit $?
else
/etc/init.d/wwwoffle stop || exit $?
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
If "|| exit $?" is added, the "set +e" won't prevent the script
from exiting with a non-zero status.
