initscript doesn't preserve return code

[Simon Déziel]

Copied from the Debian bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788573):

Many actions offered by the initscript do not preserve or give the
proper return code. One notable example is the "configtest" that always
returns 0 even when problems are detected:

 echo "invalid" >> /etc/nging/nginx.conf
 service nginx configtest
 echo $?

Should return 1 but returns 0 instead.

Oops, I might have been wrong as the fix was commit in Debian but have
yet to make it to Wily. Sorry about that :(

Simon: Yeah, the system will autoupdate the Debian bug status, however currently the Ubuntu one should stay "Triaged" - we have a couple other things as the Server Team to make some discussions and decisions first.

Thomas, now that the fix made it to Wily, would there be any chance to get this to Trusty via an SRU? Thanks in advance
