On Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Ververt) the installation of the package openssh-server displays the following error message:
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/
Running 'systemctl status ssh' shows that systemd knows about the service:

It appears that sshd is attempting to register with upstart and with systemd. SInce Ubuntu 15.04 upstart has been replaced with systemd. I expected openssh-server on Ubuntu 15.04 to not want to use upstart. It does properly use systemd, it just prints an error about trying to tallk to upstart.

This is just cosmetical. We actually do want to continue upstart support at least until the next LTS (and also for Ubuntu touch), so we can't just rip that out wholesale yet. But it shouldn't produce that confusing error for sure.
