TBH, having only somewhat recently taken over as maintainer of this
package, I'm not very familiar with its earlier history.

But TTBOMK, cgroup-bin never shipped an /etc/init.d/cgroup-bin file. See
for example its contents in wheezy [1], or the TODO item [2] created by
the previous maintainer.

Is /etc/init.d/cgroup-bin still around?

If yes, then it's probably just bailing out early because it cannot find
the necessary executables, so no harm done. But then it must have been
placed there manually.

If no, then the purge must indeed have removed it, but as the Debian
version does not ship this file, I assume this is a peculiarity of the
Raspbian version of this package?
