[Bug 865686] [NEW] 11.10 libvirt-bin upstart script doesn't shut down vm's

[dyna]

Public bug reported:

11.10 has an updated /etc/init/libvirt-bin with code to shut down VM's.
However it seems that upstarts doesn't wait for the script to end and just reboots the machine while the VM's are still being shutdown.

Others who use a custom vm shutdown script already noted this problem with upstart, however i couldn't get their solutions to work:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/36855/upstart-pre-stop-killed-during-shutdown
http://sebastian.marsching.com/blog/archives/112-KVM-and-Graceful-Shutdown-on-Ubuntu.html

I tried setting a kill timeout as suggested in the first link, but that seems to be ignored.
The first link also recommends using "stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016]", but this is already set in the new version of the upstart script. So why is it being killed?
