package-scripts/chef-server wasn't included, which makes sense, so I manually created a link for chef-server-ctl, but running chef-server-ctl reconfigure just exits.

the chef-server cookbooks have /opt/chef-server hard coded into them, which is one issue.

At this moment, since we eventually want chef-server-core to replace chef-server, it makes sense to keep it in /opt/chef-server anyway. despite not being able to use replaces for both chef-server and chef-server-core packages via omnibus, dpkg at least won't let one package install over another packages files. All that said, I'm not that worried about someone trying to install both packages on one system at this time.
