[Bug 1649310] Re: RM Upstart, obsolete, superseded by systemd

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I hope you are not using intermediate releases; and xenial with
supported upstart in main, will be fully supported until 2021 + ESM

At that point you will be free to e.g. use 22.04 LTS with e.g. self-
compiled upstart, no?

Removing upstart from artful, means that we will only support upstart as
is in xenial, upto xenial EOL and EOE.

No we do not plan to support upstart as upstream, or in Ubuntu any more.

Bug description:
  In 18.04 LTS src:upstart should not be part of Ubuntu.
  It has already been removed from Debian.
  And most products have migrated to systemd.
  This is a tracking bug to remove a collection of packages that need to go away together with upstart.

  Some of these have been ported to systemd under different names, or no
  longer at all required.

  = Removal order =

  * ubuntu-touch-meta
  * unity8-desktop-session

  * ubuntu-touch-session
  * upstart-watchdog
  * lxc-android-config

  * upstart

  * cgmanager

  = Reverse depends checks =

  $ reverse-depends -b src:upstart
