Title:
  upstart does not start cupsd and nutd

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On my 10.04.3 LTS cupsd never starts automatically, although it is
  configured to do so. Even manually adding cupsd to the Start Programs
  dialog doesn't do the trick.

  Starting cupsd manually works absolutely flawless.

  The same happens with nutd. Nut is never started automatically, but
  start with no errors when done from a shell.

  I have browsed several bug reports on and off Launchpad describing the
  problem as a bug in Upstart (Upstart experiencing a race condition
  that may render the console read-only), that was already fixed by the
  Upstart devs.  There is also a Launchpad bug - that is closed because
  there is a bugfix. But as long as the bugfix is not rolled out to
  users... Several people beg to re-open this.

  I am using 10.04 LTS - and it still sticks to version 0.6.5-8 of
  upstart. Obvoiously no modern version of Upstart ever got released for
  Lucid. I cannot upgrade Upstart without major operations beyond normal
  packet installation routine, and I do not want to risk rendering my
  system unusable if Upstart completely fails after upgrading it to
  unsupported versions.
