Scott, could you explain what we should change in order to fully support Upstart? Do you think we could be Upstart-compatible with minimal changes for Karmic (e.g. just changing a few locations/commands)? Are there deeper changes that could be nice to do in the long term? And, last but not least,

So your fix is the right one, but in the meantime we've moved to PolicyKit1, which allows us to replace that button with their stock unlock button. So that will be fixed in the upcoming 2.27.3, and you'll be able to drop the patch (which won't apply anyway). Thanks for your interest! --
