initctl list does not show all jobs from /etc/init

[AlainKnaff]

initctl list only shows a handful (16) of jobs of /etc/init/ despite 117 conf files being present.

Some jobs, such as xinetd and winbind cannot be started or stopped using upstart, even though an /etc/init/xinetd.conf and an /etc/init/winbind.conf file exist.

Both files are unmodified since package installation.

Xinetd has been installed for a while, whereas winbind is a fresh installation.

Neither kill -HUP 1 , nor initctl reload, nor initctl reload-configuration causes upstart to notice winbind. No recent log files appear in /var/log/upstart . And xinetd should be listed anyways, this package having been installed for a long time.

What I expected to happen: winbind should have become startable right after apt-get install winbind at best, and after kill -HUP 1 the latest. In case of error, appropriate and clear messages should be displayed to stderr (at best), or at least into /var/log/upstart

What happened instead: no way of making upstart notice newly installed packages. And old packages for that matter (xinetd)
