Steve, what happened to the upstart-job compatability layer
you talked about last July?

Subject: Bug#577040: dh_installinit: don't force upstart when both .init and
        .upstart exist.

Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.17
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dh_installinit

I wanted to try Ubuntu's (Scott's) bootchart implementation on Debian
Sid, so I did this:

    $ bzr checkout --lightweight lp:ubuntu/bootchart bootchart
    $ cd bootchart/
    $ debuild
    [...]
    $ dpkg -I ../*deb | grep Depends | fmt
     Depends: upstart-job, libc6 (>= 2.7), upstart (>= 0.6.3-4),
     initramfs-tools, lsb-base, lsb-release, klibc-utils (>= 1.1.1-4ubuntu6)

This source package contains both debian/bootchart.upstart and
debian/bootchart.init.  Currently the former gets precedence,
resulting in a binary package that can't be used with sysvinit (as
upstart-job is provided by upstart, which conflicts with sysvinit).

It would be nice if the presence of both kinds of script caused
dh_installinit to include both, add "Depends: upstart | sysvinit", and
Do The Right Thing (whatever that may be) in the postinst.

PS: déjà vu!  Did I already ask for this?
