There's a side note to this which is rather complicated. Most upstart
jobs should just use 'start on runlevel [2345]' and 'stop on runlevel
[016]'. However, for those that use events, great care must be taken to
make sure those events are stable in all upstart using distributions. I
feel that we should document this fact and encourage users to submit any
new events they use to upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com.
Perhaps we should consider moving debian/manpages/upstart-events.7 to
the upstream code base to try and curb too much diversion.
