If I may be so humble, we don't have to follow Ubuntu 100%.  The same way
that the Debian team is happy to work to bring enhancements from Ubuntu to
Debian, I assume that the Ubuntu team will be happy to deal with the minor
adjustments we do in the process.

So let's please go with it.  It will not be difficult for Ubuntu to
transition to sysvinit-utils either, nor will it be difficult for them to
deal with both.

Now, that said, we seem to have found a dpkg bug.
