Package fails to install in Debian

[adscott]

The following error is spat out:

Running npm....
Starting node-foo
/var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.postinst: 14: /var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.postinst: start: not found
dpkg: error processing foo (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 foo

Seems to be an issue with using upstart to start daemons. Ubuntu uses upstart whereas Debian uses sysvinit.

Also, the freshly-released Debian 8/Jessie uses systemd.
