I suspect there is a pattern to this behavior of closing bugs as 
immediate response, it is second time I'm seeing such response, and it 
seems this happens when someone is paid to work on a software. They feel 
only their time is valuable and rest of the people are fools. see 
https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/issue/3103/nosuchcolumnerror-could-not-locate-column 
for another example of such behavior.

invoke-rc.d is provided by sysvinit.

We have to support users running current stable releases and that means 
we have no other choice but to fix this.

Just one line in post install script is causing it,

invoke-rc.d gnukhata-core-engine start

the same command works outside of post install script.

It will take some time as we have to work with people like Steve and 
Mike.
