Title:
  kdump-tools does not have an upstart job

Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in makedumpfile source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [SRU justification]
  The upstart job avoids the sysVinit scripts to be run while kdump-tools is doing the kernel crash dump capture

  [Impact]
  Potential impossibility to capture a kernel crash dump

  [Fix]
  Add kdump-tools.conf upstart job

  [Test Case]
  With the upstart job, the kdump-tools kernel dump capture will run before any of the tasks triggered by RUNLEVEL [2345] will run.

  [Regression]
  Minimal; The job uses the same syntax as the sysVinit job currently in use.

  [Original description of the problem]

  kdump-tools relies on a sysVinit script to  capture the kernel dump.
  It sometimes gets interference from other jobs starting at runlevels 2
  to 5.

  An upstart job starting before RUNLEVEL is emitted would alleviate
  that.
