Title:
  d-i fails to divert initctl when upgrading packages during install

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “debian-installer” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  The SRU verification for bug #771372 in maverick has revealed that
  debian-installer's chroot setup handling when installing/upgrading
  packages at install time is different than the chroot setup used by
  debootstrap.  When initially bootstrapping a maverick system, the
  postinst script of the maverick procps package has its call to 'start'
  successfully intercepted; however, when *upgrading* the procps package
  after debootstrap, the start call is not intercepted, resulting in
  install failures.

  Since this is impossible to fix in the maverick installer post-
  release, I'll backport the fix for bug #602896 in a subsequent procps
  SRU; but investigation is needed here to find out why d-i isn't
  handling initctl correctly and make sure this is properly resolved for
  precise.

  15:03 < cjwatson> chroot-setup.sh is supposed to divert initctl too
  15:08 < cjwatson> slangasek: There is something odd there, indeed.  I don't quite see what; visually, the code seems right
  15:08 < slangasek> cjwatson: should I raise a bug on debian-installer?
  15:08 < cjwatson> slangasek: yes please
  15:09 < slangasek> ok
  15:09 < cjwatson> (probably belongs on either pkgsel or debian-installer-utils, but debian-installer is the place to start)
