Bug description:
[ impact ]
Previously, init.d scripts that were replaced by upstart jobs had
"upstart-job" symlink as a redirect in-place, which directed users at
using upstart commands. Despite the good intentions, that never
actually taught people about the correct interfaces. Now with the
advent of co-installability of multiple init systems, users may have
systemd, upstart, and sysv-init all installed on users system and have
init.d scripts / upstart jobs / systemd units all available. To avoid
any daubt, we should support executing /etc/init.d/ scripts which may
call into upstart, or into systemd, or actually execute the script in
question depending on whether there is native configuration for that
particular job and which init system we are running under.
[ test case ]
Invoking init.d script should invoke upstart commands, for example:
$ /etc/init.d/ssh status
ssh start/running, process 4620
$ /etc/init.d/ssh stop
stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.2469694" (uid=1000 pid=3908 comm="stop ssh ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
ssh stop/waiting
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
ssh start/running, process 5373
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 5405

In Ubuntu 13.10, the Upstart job and the init.d script do not work
properly. In previous versions, the init.d script was a symlink to
the wrapper script around upstart (/lib/init/upstart-job). This
conflict means that if the server was started using the init.d script,
upstart does not recognize that the server is running and will attempt
to start a second instance of mysqld.
Also problematic is that if the upstart job is started using the
service or start commands, the init.d script's "stop" function runs a
mysql shutdown, but upstart simply restarts mysqld (because it's
marked respawn in the upstart config).
