[Bug 1649310] Re: RM Upstart, obsolete, superseeded by systemd

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

upstart-watchdog should be removed, as this functionality is not needed
going forward. There are extensive "watchdog" facilities provided built-
in into systemd. System units can specify OnFailure mode in systemd to
trigger a reboot. Session units should not cause device reboots.

Title:
  RM Upstart, obsolete, superseeded by systemd

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in upstart-watchdog package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In 18.04 LTS src:upstart should not be part of Ubuntu.
  It has already been removed from Debian.
  And most products have migrated to systemd.
  This is a tracking bug to remove a collection of packages that need to go away together with upstart.

  Some of these have been ported to systemd under different names, or no
  longer at all required.
