As someone who actually uses multiple servers, I'd really prefer the "start || true" solution, so that the install doesn't fail. Or, if that's too obscure, "start || echo "install complete, initial startup failed". Trying to detect all the possible reasons this might be is not a job for the postinst. But failing the install just because the daemon won't start *at this particular moment* is not helpful. All IMHO, of course.
