James, your explanation for why this report is invalid just restated my
bug description.

The bug precisely is that Ubuntu is shipping a package (upstart's bash
completion) with an implicit dependency on another package (dbus) that
it does not declare! So if the developers view this dependency as
optional, then the upstart package should: 1) declare dbus as suggested;
and 2) not throw an error in the completion function if dbus is not
running but fail gracefully and degrade to not completing anything
instead of dumping errors to console.


** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
