I can see your point that the future of upstart is possibly unclear, but my feeling is that if anyone filed a bug against a package requesting upstart support, that's sufficient indication of interest to merge upstart support patches, including this sort of minor modification of the init script.

I agree.

From your other message I was under the impression that you thought it was ok to remove Upstart support, but now you agree that if there was interest, then it should be kept (as long as it does not cause issues). Is the maintainer supposed to accept the support then remove it a few months later :) ? Are those interested in Upstart support supposed to hawk over packages and never get a wink of sleep? I do not think that is what you want, but the wording of your other message (that you would not be surprised if upstart support was removed) seems like it is.

Would you mind clarifying a little?

Thanks y buenos noches,
