Hmm. I think I was deceived by the /etc/init directory existing. I'm
not sure why it's there, but I don't think the template is using
upstart. I'm having a hard time reliably recreating the issue, but I
think it's related to other reports where the default gateway is
missing (I've seen this myself on a secondary storage VM, but it went
away when I rebooted it, and couldn't get the problem to come back).
This happens unrelated to any changes I'm making.
