Public bug reported: If a user "netdisco" does not exist yet and /home is NFS mounted (and read-only for local root) the installation of this package fails.
The postinst script contains a call to adduser with a --home /home/netdisco argument. Please ask before running where to put the home directory of this user or just do not create it.
