[Python-apps-team] Bug#712985: cloud-init: Correctly implement Debian Policy 9.11.1 w.r.t integrating alternative init system

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Package: cloud-init
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
User: upstart at packages.debian.org
Usertags: upstart-job

Dear Maintainer,

Your package correctly provides upstart job file and sysv init
script. To fully comply with Debian Policy 9.11.1 [1] w.r.t. integrating with
upstart, the init.d script must also include a safeguard, in case
upstart is currently PID 1.

I have prepared a patch with that check integrated, please consider to
apply it in your package.

I have not tested bringing up Debian cloud-init instances with usptart
as pid 1, as that's a non-trivial task.
