Maybe, and it would be interesting to hear your experiences.
However, as with dbus, I cannot make upstart a dependency. SysV may
be flawed in many ways and upstart looks promising, but for servers,
init.d has been working fine for years and will continue to be used
for years. Debian will not make upstart the default any time soon,
so making netconf depend on it would be an obstacle for netconf
replacing ifupdown.
