Upstart doesn't work on any kernels other than Linux. The original goal was to have a compat layer to pull upstart jobs into the sysvinit system, which would both address the hurd/BSD kernel issues and allow a soft transition to upstart where users could opt to stay with sysvinit, but this compat layer hasn't materialized. So upstart by default in squeeze would require one of: - a compat layer for non-Linux ports - an upstart port to kfreebsd (and ideally hurd) - a decision to drop kfreebsd as a release architecture -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
