mathiaz review 20100526:
  * what's is the list of server packages to be tested for loopback interface requirements?
    * All those providing /etc/init.d/* in main ? -- ttx
  * I would add a WI to track individual upstart submission to Debian rather than one WI at the end.

ttx review 20100527:
 * The first item could be used to add new / prioritize work. Might result in too much work ? Should we drop it ?
   + yes I think it would, but it might be good to do a case by case basis. For example, i would test it using apparmor.
 * Estimated complexity: 8-10, 7-8 if we drop the first item
 * Any other way to prioritize/set a reasonable number of targets ?
 * Spend 2 complexity points getting the targets and 3 complexity points upstartifying
