No. A package could have either a SystemV init script or an upstart job
file. (Note that we don't recommend people push upstart job files for their
services yet, but since when have people listened...)
Note that I've requested a lot of that stuff to go away multiple times.
I even have support from upstream (CC:ed on the message) to bring sanity
to the package. Upstream has started to tell people to ignore the fedora
package and use their own supplied rpm :(
Please do not drop this package from Fedora. I'd gladly help to make
it compliant to the Fedora Guidelines, as I have done before, if Enricho
does not want to do this.
