    if [ -x "/etc/init.d/kdump-tools" ] || [ -e "/etc/init/kdump-tools.conf" ]; then
    	if [ ! -e "/etc/init/kdump-tools.conf" ]; then
    		update-rc.d kdump-tools start 11 2 3 4 5 . >/dev/null
    	fi
    	invoke-rc.d kdump-tools start || exit $?
    fi

The init.d script /etc/init.d/kdump-tools.dist does a check for upstart
and exits 1 if upstart is present:

    if init_is_upstart; then
        exit 1
    fi

There is an upstart config, /etc/init/kdump-tools.conf, that is a "task"
that should be run on panic.

Perhaps kdump-tools should not be trying to start a service at install
time?
