In case someone puzzles itself why this: if we exit with an error,
fso-frameworkd cannot be installed at all, since:

- we don't depend on the fso-config virtual package, as there's no way
  to pull the correct package by guessing the device

- we don't ship a general /etc/frameworkd.conf either, doing so would
  mean the burden of managing the config file through debconf or
  update-alternatives (and since there's one config file per device this
  would be a nonsense anyway)

Instead, I think the solution I adopted is the correct one:
fso-frameworkd installs without any problem and *tells* to read the
README.Debian file, which contains a section about the fso-config
virtual package [1]

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
