Right; I'm not going to try to fix that issue in lucid/maverick.  It's
unfortunate, but that's a significant semantic change that I don't think is
backportable.

BTW, a prerequisite to backporting this debhelper change is to fix bug
#707971 in upstart-job, which is causing much havoc for people right now in
natty.
