Confusing though. Starting service but doesn't do anything within the code.
/etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc

} else {
$static_output .= "Writing configuration... ";
update_output_window($static_output);
write_config($changedesc);
$static_output .= "done.\n";
update_output_window($static_output);
$static_output .= "Starting service.\n";
update_output_window($static_output);
if($pkg_info['after_install_info'])
update_output_window($pkg_info['after_install_info']);
}

that line should be remove? if follow what is says "Starting service" then patch below.
This should start package after install
