Bug Description
When installing the isdnvboxserver package the config and postinst scripts try to update /etc/inittab which doesn't exist any more in ubuntu 12.04 since it uses upstart. As a consequence the daemon is not started automatically at boot, because upstart doesn't know about it, and it is also impossible to start manually because there isn't any init or init.d job to start.

the postinst script in this package doesn't update /etc/inittab, but the config script still tries to query it. Some more surgery is wanted here.
