Great debugging work! What led you to that? (Logs?)

But what should it do if it can't? I think it's the expected behaviour
that if you configured a daemon to listen on an interface and it could
not do so, then the daemon should fail to start. (And failing to start
on Debian necessarily implies that it should fail an installation...)

Nod, haven't confirmed but no reason to think otherwise.
