[Merge] lp:~xnox/upstart/fix-1235649 into lp:upstart

[James Hunt]

Review: Disapprove

- Formatting is not standard: missing space after function name and before bracket. Aslo, why brackets round 'action' and 'kernel'?
- This is an ubuntu-specific work-around so should only be applied to Ubuntu if absolutely necessary.
