[Bug 1301509] [NEW] init.d scripts don't start properly on trusty

[Andrew Berry]

Public bug reported:

upstart: 1.12.1-0ubuntu1

I've built a Vagrant image using the cloud image form http://cloud-
images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-i386
-vagrant-disk1.box

For some reason, most scripts in /etc/init.d won't run on boot, even
when the various symlinks are set up properly. An easy package to test
with is memcached, but I've seen the same problem with redis-server as
well as with Virtualbox's init scripts.

I was debugging this by going through a verbose boot, and I discovered
that if I boot to recovery, and then immediately resume a normal boot,
the init.d scripts do run and all the services load. I'm not familiar
enough with recovery to know how it changes what upstart runs, but at
least it's something to debug.

Basic steps to recreate:

* Use vagrant to spin up the box linked above (but I'm assuming this has nothing to do with vagrant or the cloud image)
* Run apt-get update / dist-upgrade to bring everything up to date.
* apt-get install memcache
* reboot
* ps auxww | grep memcache shows nothing

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)
