[Bug 834769] [NEW] upstart doesn't run "pre-start script"

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

Upstart does not run "pre-start script" under some circumstances. Assume
following startup script:

# Create a new file if it doesn't exist.
description     "Create new, empty file if it does not exist"

start on mounted

pre-start script
   /usr/bin/touch /etc/empty.file
end script

exec /bin/sleep 1

the "pre-start script" is not running at all. The file will never be
created.
