thank you very much for this pointer, that's a pretty good discussion,
which resulted in

-----------------------------

So, the TC declines to rule on what should maintscripts do when failing 
to
(re)start a service (or otherwise encountering a similarly serious
problem).

(read the full result at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904558#137 )

so I still think "#801065 discourage failing install or upgrade when service
fails to start" is the wrong recommendation for dev-ref.

That said, I'd still appreciate a patch that conveys the gist of #904558.
