Comment 10 for bug 552786

I'm thinking about interoperability. If, for example, Lucid is going to continue to provide legacy init scripts for Upstart jobs, those legacy init scripts should continue to operate in as compatible a manner as possible.

Alternatively, don't provide legacy init scripts for things that have been converted to using Upstart, then you're free to avoid the current LSB spec for init scripts.

But what's there right now is not doing anybody any favours. Puppet, which is currently Upstart-unaware, sees the legacy init scripts and uses them, and they don't work in the expected way.
