Fixing all of main isn’t good enough for many users (openafs is itself
in universe).  Whether it’s acceptable to break universe is up to the
Ubuntu TB, but there’s absolutely no point in breaking *anything* when
it’s totally avoidable by changing “stopping rc” to “starting rc”.

(I’d love to be proven wrong by getting all of Lucid converted to
upstart before the release—but that _still_ doesn’t imply we should
arbitrarily break things before that happens.)

Perhaps you are mistaken (or I misunderstood you): rc is a task, so it
“stops” as soon as all the SysV initscripts have finished starting, not
when the runlevel is exited.

But I want dkms_autoinstaller to run before the SysV initscripts start
(‘start on (… starting rc RUNLEVEL=[2345])’), rather than running after
the SysV initscripts start (‘start on (… stopping rc RUNLEVEL=[2345])’,
which is what you currently have).

Are we on the same page here?

Cool.  I think you’re supposed to also declare
  emits built-module
in /etc/init/dkms_autoinstaller.conf; see init(5).

gdm and usplash still emit and use starting-dm in current Lucid (but of
course it’s possible that’s still planned to change?  *shrug*).
