If the upstart job has bailed out in pre-start, it has not started. The correct thing to do here is to notice the 'stopped' condition and have startpar treat that as a failed start - so that startpar does not wait for the job indefinitely, and also so that startpar does not start the dependent services.

We don't use startpar in Ubuntu and don't plan to. It also does not get along with upstart Tasks. It's probably not worth trying to fix it in Ubuntu; we disabled its usage in sysvinit.

startpar got split out into its own package in Debian/utopic-proposed, and will disappear from sysvinit as soon as the merge lands. Thus reassigning.
