[Bug 602896] Re: Fails to update in pbuilder: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

[Stefano Rivera]

Liviu: While chrooted, you probably don't want to start any services.

I suggest creating an executable "/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" containing
simply "exit 101". That will make invoke-rc.d refuse to start or stop
services. Remove this again before trying to boot the system.
