Description

You provide your own Debian packaging, which is good because that in Debian itself is stuck at some broken version of 0.48. However, this packaging fails to work when it's in a "removed, config remains" state.

To fix, please add:
test -f /usr/lib/ceph/ceph_common.sh || exit 0
early in /etc/init.d/ceph

You may ask, what is the purpose of removing ceph but keeping its config? I for one got a test cluster on a few machines which have a different usual purpose, and having ceph always running is tedious (for example, osds block boot if they can't reach a monitor in quorum). It also violates a "must" clause of Debian policy, which would get you smacked with a RC bug were you in the official archive. You're technically not bound by the policy, but it's an one-line fix...
