I disagree. Re-reading the messages to the bug report, We have
"strongly support" from Sam Hartman, and "also in favor" from Russ
Allbery and Bill Allombert.
The only objection was from Henrique de Moraes Holschuh based on lack of
risk assessment from the mistaken impression that what was being
proposed was a change to dh that would _automatically_ change existing
behavior of all dh-using packages.
What is being proposed in this bug is simply a change to the Developers
Reference to encourage package maintainers to allow dpkg installation to
succeed even if the service fails to start, unless the package
maintainer has a specific reason to do otherwise.
The bug report appears to me to have reached an overwhelming consensus
in favor.
