I did run into one issue with my fix, and that is that the package never seems to get to an installed state, even though it is installed. Looking at the postinst script in the deb package, it tries to run /usr/lib/prey/current/bin/prey config gui and for some unknown reason it fails to load it properly, which causes the package to go into a pending config state. So every time I tried ran aptitude for updates or install new packages, it deleted the prey-agent.service. To fix this, I modified the /var/lib/dpkg/status so that under Package: prey, under Status: it says install ok installed and everything is good to go now.

I then had to redo my previous procedure to get the prey-agent.service back and up and running, but now I don't have any other issues. I may try to modify the .deb and the postinst script so that it works properly with Ubuntu 15.04. I'll let you know.
