A lot of the philosophy behind upstart is that the jobs are simple
enough that local admins can make changes and easily be able to merge
them if they update versions.

This doesn't sound like much of a regression across the old init.d
script based on the above.  You still had to modify the init.d script to
declare any proxy variables etc.

I'm curious, what does GNOME modify when you answer positively to the
question it asks about applying system wide?  Is it a gconf key or a
file that's sourcable?  That might be a good starting point for getting
this type of data pulled into the job.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged

Bug description:
Since converting to an upstart job, the mythtv-backend start job is unable to specify environment variables to be set in the mythtv-backend process.  The example on hand is proxy setting variables.  My backend has to use a proxy in order to use the Internet and now there is no way to tell it short of hacking the upstart job itself, assuming I even understood it's syntax.
