Admittedly it started this way, but eventually `fix-style' introduced
changes that were orthogonal to the original goal (e.g., the activation
script thing).  At least, that's how I feel about it.

IMO it'd have been clearer and more consensual to focus just on the
Upstart job style (which is now partly available in `trunk'), then move
on to different topics in different branches.

Anyway, we can surely improve the way we work together over time.

Thanks,
