Right now, I don't think the Ubuntu Server Team expects to support
anything other than systemd in releases since 15.04. If you think we
should, please take it up on the mailing list.

But since Debian supports multiple init systems and we inherit that
capability, I have no objection to patches to fix behaviour in the
development release, provided that we also have someone step up to
maintain any Ubuntu delta for this as required.

For fixing server and upstart related bugs in stable releases that ship
with systemd, I guess it probably depends on the individual regression
risk.

I originally thought that this bug affected puppet when running under
systemd as is the default. If this is not the case and only affects
upstart in a pretty unusual and unsupported (by the server team) system
configuration, then though I still welcome patches from users affected,
I would expect the Ubuntu Server Team to focus on other bugs instead.

Title:
  Set systemd as default service provider

Status in puppet package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  AFAIK, Ubuntu has systemd as default init system since 15.04 release. Although, puppet thinks it's still upstart.
  This behavior is already fixed in upstream puppet code. Please, add this patch to Xenial puppet package.
