[Bug 603285] Re: Please convert init script to upstart.

The job itself looks OK, although I have a few related questions:

Shouldn't you be using dh_installinit to install the job and deal with
migrating the old conffile?  Simply dropping the new job in place and
removing the call to dh_installinit is generally not the correct thing
to do.

The old init script has a few specialised warts that you don't seem to
have preserved.  Obviously a lot of it goes away with Upstart, but I
think the inetd.conf check (even though it's clunky) is probably worth
preserving.  What about the ntp-wait gubbins?  I can't think of an easy
way to do "start on started ntpd but only if it's installed" in Upstart,
so you may have to preserve that too for the moment.
