Thanks to everyone involved in getting this fixed. I'll say that I still don't have much confidence in all of this, but judging by the test case, it seems that at least for my lucid system there is no longer a discrepancy between the status managed with init.d and upstart. Please release to -updates.

As a user I'm thankful for all the work the devs do. I think it's quite obvious from what Ubuntu has achieved that everybody involved is really trying their best and it mostly works extremely well. But I will not hide the fact that I also feel that upstart was very hastily introduced WAY before it's time. Dapper vservers are still stuck without ANY upgrade path AT ALL because of upstart. I feel this is quite outrageous given the promise of an LTS. There isn't much live left for dapper users and obviously, I'd much rather run lucid by now. I hope bug 430224 will soon get fixed for lucid.

So, thanks again to the devs for their work. Sometimes you can't win, I guess ;-)
