We did on multiarch.
This is definitely currently a problem, but it's something I'd like to try
to fix, and I think it may be possible to fix.

Note that progress on upstart is not blocked currently by these threads in
debian-devel, but by the things that Steve listed. The Policy change
needs to be finalized before we can really start talking about it, and
that's just waiting on wording changes and improvements and additional
examples, IMO.
That these discussions are ongoing doesn't mean that they're actually
blocking anything.
