Does anyone use ansible inside docker? We have for a while now, and we've 
had nothing but trouble with ansible's service module and docker's 
inability to run upstart.

Ansible 1.9 onwards seems to prefer using initctl over service, which in 
Docker is symlinked to /bin/true and so fails silently. Whereas service 
works fine, since it will default to sysv scripts if upstart isn't 
available. Is there a specific reason that ansible prefers initctl? 

Is it worth putting in a PR to detect this use-case specifically (initctl 
being symlinked to bin/true)? Or would a better fix be to let the user 
explicitly define a service module somehow?
