Comment:

 here is the problematic section of the
 /var/lib/dpkg/info/tilemill.postinst script:

 {{{
 ...
 # Automatically added by dh_installinit
 if [ -x "/etc/init.d/tilemill" ] || [ -e "/etc/init/tilemill.conf" ]; then
         if [ ! -e "/etc/init/tilemill.conf" ]; then
                 update-rc.d tilemill defaults >/dev/null
         fi
         invoke-rc.d tilemill start || exit $?
 fi
 # End automatically added section
 # Automatically added by dh_installinit
 update-rc.d -f tilemill remove >/dev/null || exit $?
 # End automatically added section
 }}}


 changing the `exit $?` to `exit 0` will allow it to get past, probably we
 have to try to install it, let it break, patch the above file, then try
 again with 'apt-get -f install'. I'm not sure why/if it needs to actually
 run it at install time, and what doesn't get done if it doesn't happen.

 note classic /etc/init.d/tilemill does not exist, but
 /etc/init/tilemill.conf does.

 maybe if we just do `service tilemill start && service tilemill stop` at
 the end of the install script it will pick up whatever the code snippet
 above is trying to do?
