Jobs under /lib instead of /etc?

[Michael T]

Hello,

Something that has always annoyed me about traditional init was the fact that the scripts are kept under /etc, although nowadays they are almost never user configuration files in the sense that they used to be, but scripts which come with a package and are not intended to be changed by the user.  Have you considered changing this in upstart, and having package scripts go under, say, /lib/init, with /etc/init only there for users to override defaults on a case-by-case basis, if they so desire?

This would also play nicer with dpkg's special handling of files which live under /etc.

Regards,

Michael
