I've not been able to reproduce the specific upgrade scenario which produces this bug but the nis preinst script could handle return codes from invoke-rc.d better than it does at the moment to deal with this problem.

Marking 'Confirmed' and Importance 'Medium' due to the number of bug reports about this issue.

Nominating for precise and quantal as this should be SRU'ed once fixed in dev.
