Installing upstart files in packages

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

my package n900-fmrx-enabler installs an upstart file.
I'm simply installing the upstart script into /etc/event.d and handle
the first startup in the postinst script.

You may want to check

Please note that the syntax of upstart scripts is a lot different than
init.d scripts. But it's perfectly possible to keep the init.d script
and add an upstart script that just invokes the init.d script
properly.
