Package: linux-base Version: 2.6.32-15 Severity: grave My fstab had the wrong entry for / (hda1 is part of a ZFS pool, my real / as per grub config is hde1), then postinst fails. I think it could report gracefully that my fstab was fubar.
Note: wrong entry in fstab is quite common, ironically, because it didn't migrate to UUID yet. I think this problem will happen lots of times as your script migrates systems to UUID.
