Ansible (meta-) Role for generating upstart scripts

ansible-upstart

Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.

Forked from telusdigital because we need to depend on released versions.
