I'm guessing the "Scott" mentioned is Scott James Remnant? Transitioning from a init script to an Upstart job is a fairly invasive change for a LTS SRU, especially for a widely used package like screen. While I agree this is the *right* solution, I'd like a second opinion from another SRU team member, or from Scott before approving this. I'm mainly concerned about the behavior change (e.g. hardcoded calls to the screen init script, and so on) that SRU's typically don't have.
