Title:
  initctl scripts report "unknown job" on rpcbind and ypbind

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  root@u14:/etc/init# lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04
  root@u14:/etc/init# 

  root@u14:/etc/init# apt-cache policy upstart

  3) On some fresh installations of Ubuntu 14.04, nis was post-installed via apt-get install nis.

  On some installations, the installation notes a failure to start
  rpcbind, ypbind, ypserv during the installation process. On other
  installations, these processes start correctly.

  Trying to use initctl scripts for these processes (after reboot)
  fails, e.g.:

  root@u14:/etc/init# status ypbind
  status: Unknown job: ypbind
  root@u14:/etc/init# 

  even though these processes get started correctly on boot normally.

  init-checkconf sometimes reports the conf file as invalid. Never got
  an invalid syntax with -d switch used on init-checkconf though.

  root@u14:/etc/init# init-checkconf /etc/init/ypbind.conf 
  ERROR: File /etc/init/ypbind.conf: syntax invalid:
  root@u14:/etc/init# 

  Sometimes init-checkconf reports invalid syntax on one run and valid
  syntax on next run.

  We did observe similar mis-behaviour after apt-get install ssh, so it
  seems to be a problem with upstart and not nis.
