Hi Alex, /sbin/initctl is part of upstart package. I install systems with traditional System-V-like startup scripts so this file is not present. It causes installDebianPackage function to fail because disableStartStopDaemon fails. I noticed that this changed was introduced as a result of Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-tools/+bug/997063 so I guess it was not tested on systems not using upstart...
