It's just an usual chroot generated debootstrap.

I don't really know approx, so I don't have any guess here. It's seems
quite reasonable to return an error code in this situation but OTOH my
feeling is that the postinst of a package should not fail depending on
the current state of the computer it's being installed on... You could
maybe ignore the return value of the init.d script in the postinst?
Cheers,
Samuel.
