Comment 3 for bug 1047837

Those files are indeed unnecessary because the debdiff (of course) swallowed the symlinks.
Originally the upstart scripts for different components are just symlinks to these generic ones since they are really all the same and just exist for debhelper magic.
Since debian rejected the debdiff anyways I have created a bzr branch that can handle the symlinks.

I'll take a look at the setup job as soon as I find the time.
