Comment 6 for bug 483506

(Evan: Actually, the task of running the SysV initscripts is itself an upstart job that may run in parallel with other upstart jobs, not necessarily after them. It just happens to take the longest in practice.)

Russ: The package could detect at build time whether to use an upstart job or a SysV initscript. (This might be as simple as, say, [ -e /etc/init/mountall.conf ], but maybe there’s a better way.) That would be easier to maintain than a forked package.
