Yes :)

This, and the change in start condition as in [1], as you stated in your 
other mail.

Well, if I look in dh_installinit manpage, it seems it also installs 
upstart scripts. So dh_installinit should be called anyway. How does it 
behave if both and upstart and init script are present? And does it 
behave differently in debian and ubuntu?

I have discussed the process with Ubuntu maintainers, and the preference 
is to do as much as possible in debian. I will test the stuff as is in 
ubuntu and if we run into an unavoidable delta between ubuntu and debian 
I will notify Mathieu, he will initiate a merge from the latest debian 
git, and I will branch of that latest merge, and commit the changes 
needed in my branch.

So for now I will work based from debian git and test against ubuntu 
bleeding.
