[Bug 427356] [NEW] Boot Performance Updates

[Scott James Remnant]

Public bug reported:

Here is the feature freeze exception request for the boot performance
updates for karmic.  I will attach tasks to this bug for each package
that needs updating, with a rationale for that package if appropriate.

These updates will have been tested first through the ubuntu-boot PPA
and on the wide range of hardware and install setups I have here for
testing purposes.

They are part of the general work towards karmic+1 for 10s Upstart
Native boot.


debhelper: this contains an Upstart-aware dh_installinit used by the other packages
upstart: updated to include the udev bridge and mountall tools
others: updated to switch from init scripts to upstart jobs
sysvinit: updated to not ship most of the contents of initscripts anymore

initramfs-tools: updated to allow for optional scripts/hooks, and to make the framebuffer driver optional on USPLASH=y
usplash: updated to be optional in the initramfs, and converted to upstart (mmm, "stop on starting gdm" goodness)
