Pat, if this is reproducible after an OTA, you can safely change the file
before the OTA - mountall isn't getting updated, so this file won't get
clobbered after the OTA.

If it's only reproducible on first boot after flashing, then yes you would
need to get the change into the filesystem some other way.  I'm not sure
this is a change that we want in production however, so I don't know the
best way to put this change in so that it doesn't accidentally leak into a
stable OTA update.

Title:
  ofono does not start after upgrade (initclt stalls when sending an
  event)

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Incomplete
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Some times, on first boot after either using ubuntu-device-flash or
  upgrading the phone via OTA, some processes do not start because
  initctl seems to stall and does not send events that trigger the
  launch of those processes. For instance, I see in my arale:

  $ ps -ef | grep initclt
  root       742   563  1 08:25 ?        00:00:00 initctl emit android
  root      1826   746  0 08:25 ?        00:00:00 initctl emit rild-ready OFONO_RIL_DEVICE=mtk OFONO_RIL_NUM_SIM_SLOTS=1

  and "ofonod" is not started because "rild-ready" is not emitted.

  A second boot solves the issue and I do not see any initctl process
  still executing after some seconds.

  This bug can certainly scare people when they see that they do not
  have telephony just after an OTA.

  I have reproduced in

  $ system-image-cli -i
  current build number: 80
  device name: arale
  channel: ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/meizu.en
