Package: upstart
Version: 1.20-1
Severity: minor

The documentation says that a job can be started on a boolean
combination of events.  Of course a boolean combination of events is
semantically meaningless, unless events are thought to occur
simultaneously (which I'm pretty sure they don't, in upstart).
Presumably historical information is used somehow.

The manpage discusses this in BUGS but even after reading that,
neither the intended nor the actual semantics are clear to me.

Perhaps if the intended semantics could be described, it would be
easier to implement them ?  It would also then be possible to explain
in BUGS which exactly expressions have behaviour which is hopefully
going to change later.

Thanks,
Ian.
