The changelog entry was for experimental. The change in question is included in unstable now. In point of fact, the upstart support was never included in unstable at all, because the maintainer had closed the bug in an upload to experimental instead of uploading it to unstable where it belonged; but that's a separate issue. And it doesn't change the situation that the maintainer has decided to block upstart support for this package without discussion. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
