Hi folks,
Now that Debian jessie is open for development, and a few packages
(lsb/insserv/sysvinit/debhelper) have been updated in saucy, at long
last
there is an implementation of upstart support in Debian that's
compatible
with Ubuntu.
This means that it's now possible to forward our patches for upstart
job
support to Debian! When doing merges this cycle on packages that ship
upstart jobs, I would encourage you to look at whether these are in a
state
to be forwarded upstream.

There's a side note to this which is rather complicated. Most upstart
jobs should just use 'start on runlevel [2345]' and 'stop on runlevel
[016]'. However, for those that use events, great care must be taken to
make sure those events are stable in all upstart using distributions. I
feel that we should document this fact and encourage users to submit any
new events they use to upstart-de...@lists.ubuntu.com.
Perhaps we should consider moving debian/manpages/upstart-events.7 to
the upstream code base to try and curb too much diversion.
