Description
After commenting # I hope this doesn't break the world., debathena-lightdm-config.postinst invokes initctl unconditionally, thereby breaking the world on systems without Upstart (Debian and vivid).
Setting up debathena-lightdm-config (1.13.2~debian8.0~0.2) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/debathena-lightdm-config.postinst: 208: /var/lib/dpkg/info/debathena-lightdm-config.postinst: initctl: not found dpkg: error processing package debathena-lightdm-config (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

I can confirm that this is the case on a fresh Ubuntu Vivid install on nucular-jukebox. We definitely want this fixed before 16.04 comes around.
