upstart can fall back to use init.d scripts. 

The init.d script of the ubuntu package (and of the Debian one. IIRC
it's the same) behaves IMHO better in the presence of safe_asterisk,
generates the run dir with proper permissions if it doesn't exist, etc.

I'd recommend that you use it rather than the current one from the
Asterisk package.
