i'd rather avoid completely the new subpackage here, if needed move 
the /etc/init dir to filesystem package to avoid dirdeps pulling upstart, and 
use conflicts tag for the current requires tag.

syslog-ng/syslog-ng.init:
...
upstart_controlled --except configtest

i don't really understand how flush-logs is handled, or it's just not 
perfectly implemented yet? also how do you specify multiple excludes remains 
unclear.

also, configtest before reload/restart action would be really important to 
have in upstart as well, considering that we restart services on rpm 
upgrades. does upstart have such concept after all as restart/reload in 
scripts?

ps: would be nice to know where's source of documentation, for example i did 
not find myself description of job file directives.
