Package: upstart
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: important

Hi,

sysvinit (2.88dsf-19) switched from using /dev/initctl (Linux) and
/etc/.initctl (kFreeBSD) to /run/initctl.  This was the final part
of the wider /run transition, and additionally unifies the path
across all Debian platforms.

upstart contains code to send control messages to the control FIFO,
but this code is using the old path /dev/initctl.

Please could you update upstart to use the new path?  There are two
possible ways to do this:

1) Straight switch to new path
   This will require a Breaks: sysvinit (<< 2.88dsf-19) to ensure
   that the new control FIFO path is present and has a listener.

2) Use new path, but fall back to old path if not present
   This will allow the Breaks: to be skipped, and will support both
   old and new versions of sysvinit, at the expense of adding the
   fallback logic to the upstart code.


Regards,
Roger
