In Ubuntu 13.10, the Upstart job and the init.d script do not work properly.  In previous versions, the init.d script was a symlink to the wrapper script around upstart (/lib/init/upstart-job).  This conflict means that if the server was started using the init.d script, upstart does not recognize that the server is running and will attempt to start a second instance of mysqld.

Also problematic is that if the upstart job is started using the service
or start commands, the init.d script's "stop" function runs a mysql
shutdown, but upstart simply restarts mysqld (because it's marked
respawn in the upstart config).
