I would agree with that - postinst and similar scripts should not fail
when a service restart fails.  The maintainer scripts need to be
looked at more closely, I made a similar fix in the ganglia package
scripts some time ago.

I don't think this is a regression with 1.3.4, it simply hasn't been
noticed before.

There is at least one other bug about dpkg failing to install this
package:
