The right way to do this is by calling the init script in the maintainer
script, not by duplicating code between the init script and the maintainer
script.

*Not* starting the upstart job on install also means that stopping is not
idempotent wrt reboots after install. If the job is not running, it cannot
be stopped, so "resolvconf --disable-updates" will not be called when it
should be on shutdown.

We need to find out why the upstart job is failing and fix that, not avoid
calling the upstart job on install/upgrade.
