[Bug 690640] Re: dh_installinit upstart support start a job in postinst script regardless of previous status

[Clint Byrum]

Alright, I see where we do need this information encoded.

The current recommendation for natty is to add the word 'manual' to the
job configuration file to disable it. For 10.10 and earlier, commenting
out the start on line is the preferred method, or moving the file
somewhere else.

What if we added

if grep -q '^\s*start\s*on' /etc/init/${JOB}.conf && ! grep -q '^\s*manual' /etc/init/${JOB}.conf ; then
  $ACTION $JOB
fi

To upstart-job?

Since we already have to do a --no-start for special case event based
tasks, this would reliably catch the known ways to disable upstart jobs,
and otherwise doesn't change the behavior.
