When a package isn't able to be configured due to a missing/broken facility
on the system, it is acceptable to fail in the postinst rather than complete
the installation and give the user the false impression that the package is
working correctly.

So this bug is at least not 'serious', though I'll let the maintainer decide
whether a further fix is warranted.
