When you run "puppet resource service", puppet will enumerate _all_
services on that server (init scripts, upstart jobs, systemd services,
whatnot, and then check if it is running, and if it is enabled on boot.

When the operatingsystem is "ubuntu", the service provider is "upstart",
The relevant code for handling services on ubuntu is:

  defaultfor :operatingsystem => :ubuntu

  commands :start => "/sbin/start",
           :stop => "/sbin/stop",
           :restart => "/sbin/restart",
           :status_exec => "/sbin/status",
           :initctl => "/sbin/initctl"

Is this wrong for Ubuntu?
