I started a discussion regarding this at Ubuntu Forums in Lucid testing:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326721

Already one question I can't answer. Following:

dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl
ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

and completing the upgrade or other procedure, should a person not:

rm /sbin/initctl
dpkg-divert --local --remove /sbin/initctl

before exiting the chroot?

This is quite important to me because I try to help as much as possible at Absolute Beginners Talk in the forums and every failed attempt at helping someone holds the potential of losing a new Ubuntu user.

That and I don't like to fail. It's one of those character flaws.
