Ah, hm. This may be a different problem, then. Some daemons don't close
file descriptors, and Debian maintainer scripts sometimes have other file
descriptors open. This can create a situation where the maintainer script
waits for the daemon to close the file descriptor and hence hangs.
Often adding:
# Make sure we don't leave file descriptors open.
exec 3>/dev/null
exec </dev/null
to the start of the init script will fix this problem. That's kind of a
hack, but without modifying the daemon, I'm not aware of a better fix.
