Comment 2 for bug 435935

From what /usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian.gz explains, we can easily provide as many features as before by working with scripts from /etc/init.d, isn't it? Upstart jobs in /etc/init are essential parts of the system, and there's little interest in disabling them.

So I'd say that at least for Karmic, we can limit the work required. What we need is mostly a shift from running the scripts by themselves to using 'start'/'stop' to do so. I can do that quickly since our code fits well in that design. I've also a pair of little fixes that can make disabling services more correct, renaming links to "KNNservice" instead of plainly removing the files. What's your feeling about that?
