Title:
  service --status-all always reports upstart managed daemons as running

Status in lsb package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The change to lsb-base that landed into -updates on the 12th of May:

  lsb (4.1+Debian11ubuntu6.1) trusty; urgency=medium

    * Add 01-upstart-lsb from the upstart package and make
      executing rc.d scripts no-op if there is an upstart
      job for that script. (LP: #1273462)

  changed the behaviour of init.d scripts to pass through to the
  associated upstart configuration for process management, where
  packages ship both an upstart configuration and an init.d
  configuration.

  This has a rather nasty side effect on 'service --status-all', which
  calls the 'status' method on all installed init.d scripts - this gets
  translated into:

    status <service-name>

  for upstart scripts, which correctly identifies the process as not
  running, but always returns a 0 return code. As a result, --status-all
  incorrectly identifies upstart processes as running even when they are
  not.
