Moved the bug to be against Trusty, since current Ubuntus don't use a
system upstart.

Title:
Default values for WAIT_STATE are wrong in the upstart wait-for-state
job
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in upstart source package in Trusty:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 14.04, the wait-for-state job uses the env vars
WAIT_STATE="started" or WAIT_STATE="stopped". if the GOAL env var is
set to 'start' or 'stop'.
However, according to the upstart cookbook, the desired states for a
already started/stopped job are 'start/running' and 'stop/waiting'.
Maybe a misunderstood has occurred was the meaning of signals was job
states (for example, after a job reaches the start/running state, it
emits the started signal).
The strange thing is that the waiting/running wait states were
proposed at the first implementations of this job, and not the
stopped/started states: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/upstart-
devel/2011-February/001405.html.
This bug can make some developers to write upstart jobs that return
errors (like the GlusterFS developers, that forgot the
WAIT_STATE="running" condition).
