atopacctd does not start gracefully if process accounting is stopped

[Zugschlus]

This is me forwarding https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851875

The chain of events is:

• I paused process accounting using the mentioned command
• I started the upgrade
• postinst tries to start atopacct (invoke-rc.d atopacct start, generated by dh_installinit
• atopacct waits for new accounting entries to appear, fails after some timeout
• invoke-rc.d returns failure, breaking the update

So it really looks like a different bug. -> new ticket opened.

Thanks to Jan Niehusman

Is this probably addressed by 2.7.0?
