Please provide an upstart job

[George Jiglau]

Also, deluge-web is also missing an upstart job, as a matter of fact, it doesn't have an init script either.

Also, why not use the name 'deluge' or 'deluged' as the username/groupname instead of debian-deluged?

Thank!

For reference there are upstart scripts on our site: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript/Ubuntu%2011.04%2B%20%28Upstart%20Job%29

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm going to redundantly echo that sentiment. As noted above the upstream project provides the necessary scripts.

I think the issues in this bug exist largely because the packaging wasn't intended to support headless users, as I speculated in Bug #1187144.

Again, I'm wondering is this package was created with the assumption that the user would be launching it from the GUI. Otherwise, you'd have to consider the package broken, as it is incomplete with respect to being an Ubuntu service package.

Obviously carried over from Debian packaging. I'd be curious to know why the Debian packager felt it was necessary to add the prefix. Did he get complaints of name conflicts?

In any case, it sounds like with a few fairly trivial tweaks these packages could be modernized, and combined with a bit of glue, as I describe in Bug #1187144 to create a fairly painless headless install experience.

Marking as duplicate as upstart has been replaced by systemd, since Ubuntu 15.04, and that is where the package improvement should be concentrated.
