1) I don't think it belongs in initscripts. If anything it could merge into
upstart but I chose not to do this since technically a sysadmin could opt to
write his own events from scratch and not install any event scripts at all
(you'd have to assume he enjoyed pain, but its possible).

2) Whoops! I'll fix that.

3) Given the haphazard packaging, I wouldn't be surprised if it was public
domain, and the contents of these is so light I'm not certain its even
copyrightable material (IANAL), but I'll ask upstream.

4) It goes here, IMHO. The logic behind this is that it is in fact these scripts
which create the sysv-compatible environment, not upstart itself.

5) Event files are kind of a special case. I followed the guidelines for init
scripts, but we might need to add something to packaging procedure about how
these really should be done.

6) Already have a fix. Coming soon (see bug).
