[Bug 1185560] [NEW] Console <-> Upstart bridge shows very confusing and unhelpful "Starting" and "Stopping" with no descriptions

[Clint Byrum]

Public bug reported:

I will attach a screen shot as well. It seems that jobs which have no
description field are not displaying the name of the job in the
upstart<->plymouth bridge.

This was seen on an Ubuntu 12.10 server with a text console forced by
passing nomodeset vga=normal in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

ii  plymouth                0.8.4-0ubuntu3   i386             graphical boot animation and logger - main package
ii  upstart                 1.5-0ubuntu9     i386             event-based init daemon
