It looks like this script is an attempt to be multi-platform and is
used in all of the various packages (RPMs, DEBs, FreeBSD, etc.). Given
that, I'd suggest that it should trigger Debian-specific behavior
based on the presence of /etc/debian_version (like it does for Red
Hat-style systems).

There's also another problem with this packaging: the 'prerm' script
disables and stops the server process if 'systemctl' is present, but
nothing enables and starts the service after installation (in
'postinst'). During a package upgrade the old version is removed and
the new version is installed, and the result is that after the upgrade
the server is not running and not even enabled to run.

I'd be quite happy to help clean up this stuff for Debian systems if
the packaging repository was visible to me :-)
