[Bug 1066086] [NEW] Upstart appears not to log daemon configuration errors

[Lars Noodén]

Public bug reported:

upstart seems not to log anywhere even if a daemon fails to load due to
bad configuration.

Steps:

1. put some garbage in sshd_config so that ssh server won't run
2. start  with upstart 'sudo service ssh start'
3. check status 'service ssh status' -- it's stopped,
4. nothing in syslog or auth.log
