click uses upstart-app-pid optionally to assist with its
garbage-collection of unused packages; you might miss this because it
only Recommends: upstart-app-launch-tools and it falls back to
mostly-working behaviour if it doesn't find it.

Since some people backport click to earlier releases, I'd prefer to make
it cope with both old and new names rather than just doing a straight
search-and-replace.  I'll sort this out and land it independently;
hopefully I can manage to do that before you start work on Monday so it
won't get in your way.
