Initng is packaged as something for more advanced users to experiment with. Its
packaging style is not well suited to being the default out of the box init
system (which this package hopes to be, FESCo will be talking that over on
Thursday).

In a word: No. Upstart's init is a full event-driven service manager that not
only starts services but can monitor them, restart them, and notify the system
of their state.

After further talks with upstream it turns out that neither of the lib packages
need be shipped with upstart. I will probably strike them from the package for now.

Working on that....
