[Bug 1216655] Re: Calling InitSystem() or InitConfig() raises AttributeError

[Tyler Hicks]

I'm not sure if anything important in Ubuntu still uses those
interfaces. The regression test suite (lp:qa-regression-testing) used by
the Ubuntu Security team does, which caused unexpected test failures. I
didn't see a mention in the changelog of these interfaces being removed,
so thought it would be best to file a bug.

I'll be happy to convert our test suite over to the new interfaces and
mark this bug as invalid. It looks like InitSystem() turned into
init_system() and InitConfig() turned into init_config(), correct?
