Thanks for your report.

The relevant error is

This bug was fixed in the package xsp - 2.6.5-1

---------------
xsp (2.6.5-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * debian/mono-xsp1.default,
    debian/mono-xsp1.init,
    debian/mono-xsp2.init:
    + Make daemon enabled or disabled on the basis of the start_boot value
      of /etc/default/mono-xspX. As a side effect of this, the init script
      will no longer die horribly if the default file is missing or junk.
  * debian/mono-xsp1.postinst,
    debian/mono-xsp2.postinst:
    + If /etc/default/mono-xspX is missing, then don't die in postinst
      (LP: #563383)
  * debian/control:
    + Update Vcs-* fields for Git
    + Bump Standards to version 3.9.1
  * debian/mono-xsp1.init,
    debian/mono-xsp2.init:
    + Add missing Requires on $remote_fs to init script
  * debian/mono-xsp.links,
    debian/mono-fastcgi-server.links,
    debian/mono-apache-server.links:
    + Fix dangling symlinks to non-gzipped manpages
  * debian/mono-xsp1.dirs,
    debian/mono-xsp2.dirs,
    debian/mono-xsp1.postinst,
    debian/mono-xsp2.postinst:
    + Stuff in /var/run definitely shouldn't be in the packages, since
      it's entirely possible that this directory is on a tmpfs which may be
      lost at boot. Since we recreate the dir in the init scripts anyway,
      this is not worth being here.
