Sorry for the late turnaround on this.  I was going to make a case for
getting this fixed post-RC on the grounds that it would break
debootstrap, but now I realize that debootstrap correctly diverts
/sbin/initctl when bootstrapping, in addition to start-stop-daemon - so
the impact does indeed appear to be low, since it seems recommended best
practices after setting up a chroot are to divert /sbin/initctl to
/bin/true anyway.

This is still a bug which we should correct for natty, but I think the
correct fix is to drop this line out of debian/postinst *entirely*, and
instead use dh_installinit's support for starting and stopping jobs,
which already knows how to do do this.  Kees, you appear to be the
author of this change; do you recall why you hard-coded a 'start'
command in procps postinst, rather than changing debian/rules to not
override dh_installinit's behavior in the first place?  I don't see
anything in the changelog that explains why we need to run the procps
job on package install, if Debian isn't doing it this way.
