Sound like something we should fix quickly. :)

Thank you for the analysis.

The file is moved from sysvinit-utils to startpar, and modified to
point to the new location of the startpar-upstart-inject script, so
the file is supposed to be changed, both overship and content.

What exactly did I do wrong with the file migration?
