Hi Marco, I've prepared an NMU for this issue with the following patch. I think the 'which invoke-rc.d' check is probably unnecessary altogether, because invoke-rc.d has been part of essential since sarge, but it doesn't hurt overly much; anyway, if invoke-rc.d is missing, I haven't bothered calling the init script by hand, because that's such a pathological corner case.
I've also made it best-effort, because if for some reason invoke-rc.d returns an error, the postinst should still have an opportunity to /try/ to start the service again, and if that succeeds, consider the package configured. Package is built and sitting on my hard drive; I won't upload until morning (hmm... afternoon rather), so if you see any problems with this NMU please say so. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
