There's a bug in upstream packaging that breaks upgrades:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-18798

There's a related bug that makes Jenkins not start up on boot:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-19329

Workarounds for both issues:

    sudo apt-get remove jenkins jenkins-common
    sudo apt-get install jenkins
    sudo rm /etc/init/jenkins.conf
    sudo update-rc.d jenkins defaults
    sudo service jenkins start
