Re: Removal of upstart integration

[Alexandre Detiste <alexandre.detiste@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Please also sprinkle these maintainers scripts with some

  rmdir /etc/init  --ignore-fail-on-non-empty

to avoid ending up with a stale, unowned, empty /etc/init.
(ad: the "cruft" tool found out about this)
