build 1231 just recently landed and should correct previously reported errors.
kirkland is concerned as well and feels many of the items may need to be
dropped. jiboumans and kirkland to resolve offline.
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-upstart-
conversion - zul says this is mostly stalled on getting the upstart scripts
reviewed, and will "nudge" the reviewers.

should look at their assigned specs and contact him if they feel they will not
be completed for the beta cycle.
