Looking at man 8 init, there is no job state "started", so having WAIT_STATE=started is exactly equal to WAIT_STATE=foobar, since they both don't exit.

So you may as well change it to something sensible.

Also, the reason that whoopsie exits as soon as it is respawned is that there is already another whoopsie process running, that either was started by something else (apport?), or upstart tost track of it.

Either way, fixing the wait-for-state (this patch or fixing whoopsie.conf), fixes the 30sec respawn bug.
