i describe ubuntu like implementation that i had in first mind to do:

1. some packages have been migrated to upstart, 
having /etc/init/<service>.conf file
2. those packages initscript is symlinked: 
to /etc/rc.d/init.d<service> -> /lib/init/upstart-job
3. upstart-job suggests to use 'service <service> to start if invoked directly 
via /etc/rc.d/init.d
4. /sbin/service, sees if invoked service jas /etc/init/<service>.conf and 
invokes via upstart, otherwise fallbacks to sysvninit mode

upstart-job is included in upstart package, /sbin/service diff in attachment.

however this assumes you already have upstart in target, i.e you preserve 
invoking old way, but require upstart being present.

and this does not handle chkconfig integration due the symlink, i.e booting 
without upstart sequence is unknown.

i've also packaged two packages from ubuntu to pld: mountall and ureadahead

i would had answered bacula one, if i had chance to test bacula 5.0
