Sorry, but I don't think this is an adequate way to solve this bug
(therefore re-opening until a proper solution has been found)...
I mean there is of course no guarantee that programs from a package for
arch XYZ that has been installed on arch XYZ can actually be used...
e.g. qemu-kvm might not be used if VT technology in the CPU is
missing...
But I think, that the package itself must install... not sure if this is
really strictly mandated by the Debian policy,.. but I guess it's what
everyone expect.

Isn't it as simple as to change the postinst to ignore any failure of
invoke-rc.d mcelog start ?
i.e. replacing the line
invoke-rc.d mcelog start || exit $?
with
invoke-rc.d mcelog start
Cheers,
Chris.
