The problem with the service start error seems to be that $linuxReleaseName in .install.sh evaluates to “Debian GNU/Linux”, not “Debian” as the scripts expect. After setting $linuxReleaseName manually in .install.sh, everything worked fine for me.

It looks like it’s from this part of the .install.sh script where it tries to detect the distribution:

if [ -f "/etc/os-release" ]; then
	linuxReleaseName=`sed -n 's/^NAME="\(.*\)"/\1/p' /etc/os-release`;
else
	linuxReleaseName=`cat /etc/*release* 2>/devnull | head -n1 | awk '{print $1}'`;
fi

On Fedora 22 the installation has issues because there are no quotes around NAME’s value, so linuxReleaseName returns empty instead of with Fedora.

Debian 8 also has installation issues related to this. Debian has the quotes, but the value is “Debian GNU/Linux” and the other scripts are looking for just “Debian”.
