I'm happy to provide an upstart job, but since I can't include it in the
Debian package, that will probably require some sort of divergence of the
Ubuntu package from the Debian package, which will make maintenance
difficult.

I'm hoping Debian will just switch to upstart, since that would make a lot
of things simpler.
