Trusty's 'upstart' package ships a new 'initctl' binary that handles reloads only via the 'Reload' D-Bus method. Precise's Upstart doesn't support the 'Reload' D-Bus method though. Can Trusty's initctl binary be patched so that it falls back to the previous reload behavior if the Upstart version in use doesn't support the 'Reload' D-Bus method? Would you like me to open a new bug for this issue?
