Dear Maintainer,
Upstart is an event based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon, in
Ubuntu it has helped to avoid problems such as starting the slim daemon
before the graphic drivers or keep it alive when it crashes.
The attached file adds upstart support for slim, the problem which
triaged the action was first reported at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slim/+bug/699861 / Slim starts
too early
We think it can be useful in Debian as well
* debian/slim.upstart: Add upstart job (LP: #699861)
- authored by Richard Johnson
Thanks for considering the patch.
