Merge lp:~jamesodhunt/ubuntu/precise/upstart/bugs-985755+984474 into lp:ubuntu/precise/upstart

[James Hunt]

* debian/upstart-job: Only attempt to handle disabled jobs if the running
  version of Upstart supports such a query (LP: #985755, #984474).

* debian/manpages/upstart-events.7: Fixed typo and corrected reference to
  'kill signal' stanza.

Could you add some brief information based on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure to the bug reports and change the debian/changelog entry from 'precise' to 'precise-proposed'?

fixup changelog after version collision with slangasek's logrotate change.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

since this is an active bzr branch, it's much better if you:

- run echo DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog >> ~/.devscripts
- always use 'dch' by itself when updating the changelog
- leave the upload target as 'UNRELEASED' when proposing branches for merge

This branch shouldn't be incrementing the package version above the still-unreleased version in the trunk; when collaborating in a VCS with multiple changes in a single upload, marking the upload target should be the last step, to be handled by the uploader after merging. Using the above recipe facilitates this.

[James Hunt (jamesodhunt)]

Ok, thanks Steve!
