Bug#760084: sitesummary: postinst fail on first but not second invocation
I was able to reproduce this in a chroot, and start to suspect the cause
is that sitesummary is configured before apache2. I checked a main
server install, and the same happen there. First is sitesummary and
apache2 unpacked, then their postinst script are executed. Here is what
I get during testing:
[...]

As sitesummary only recommend apache2, I am not quite sure how to avoid
this.
These are the commands required to reproduce the issue:
debootstrap testing /tmp/chroot-testing
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexit 101\n' >
/tmp/chroot-testing/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
chmod a+rx /tmp/chroot-testing/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
chroot /tmp/chroot-testing apt-get install sitesummary

Happy hacking
