@Raghavendra,

Yes, checked with 5.5.30-23.7.4-405.precise version.
To be exact: if you have my.cnf with a variable that prevents XtraDB Cluster from start, like bind_address = 127.0.0.1, the install fails on final configuration stage, so the package status is:
iF percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5 5.5.30-23.7.4-405.precise Percona Server database server binaries

But that's a normal Ubuntu and Debian style - the service must be successfully started in order to confirm the package install has been completed. So I don't think this is a bug. All you have to do to finalize the install is to fix the my.cnf and do:
dpkg --configure percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5

I can't confirm the socket variable problem though, when I set it to the same as default, that is:
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
the init script works well, as well as installation process.
