[Bug 1587555] Re: Installer crashed during installation

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Turns out this is breaking in ubiquity because we don't get initscripts
installed on the rootfs (since procps now depends on init-system-helpers
instead).

For d-i installs this doesn't exactly break, but it's still a good idea
to check for the file to exist before we try to modify it. Looks like in
the d-i case, some other script may be creating an empty file before
clock-setup runs.

On ubiquity, no such empty file is created, and we use a "copy" of
10clock-setup; so there needs to be an update to both packages.
