Well in the common case, packages that are expected to start a service at
install time need to report such errors so that dependent packages don't
fail with even more obscure errors. I don't know if that's appropriate here
or if we should indeed just be ignoring all errors from this job on package
install.

Was a /var/log/upstart/cgroup-lite.log file created? Could you post its
contents? It's possible the mount operation succeeded but the job failed
for some other reason.
