That would be somewhat unfortunate.

Many Debian people seem quite keen on being able to use upstart with
their distribution, and I definitely don't want it just being an Ubuntu
thing.

If we take Ubuntu out of the equation and just consider upstart to be an
upstream project, would it be any more difficult to get into Debian?

initng has been packaged, so it must be possible for upstart to be too.


Is there a better model of development you can suggest that would it
make it easier for it to be packaged in Debian?
