As a stop gap measure to force it to install I edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/brltty.postinst and put in an "exit 0" line right before the line that states "# Automatically added by dh_installinit" and I was able to get it to complete the install and stop giving me errors. I read https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718232 where it states that dh_installinit has some issues.
