Comment 3 for bug 732576

copying the upstart job file in place does not resolve the issue completely. one condition for starting oem-config-debconf is "started dbus".
we do not install dbus in the preinstalled headless images so oem-config-debconf never starts. the package either needs to depend on dbus or drop the condition from the upstart job.

to be honest i dont think the debconf frontend needs dbus anywhere so i would prefer just dropping the "started dbus" from the job script.
