Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

even though /var/lib/oem-config/run exists, oem-config is not started on boot on preinstalled arm images with the ubuntu-headless flavour.

creating a root passwd on the SD and running service oem-config start makes it run flawless, it seems that the upstart job is not executed at all (there is indeed no display manager installed on a headless image and apparently the upstart conf file defines to start on any display manager event).

looking at the source code, apparently there is debian/oem-config.oem-config-debconf.upstart but this job is neither installed by the oem-config-debconf (which is in fact completely empty) package nor can it be found anywhere on the image. the package oem-config-debconf is installed though.

apprently an explicit dh_inistallinit is missing in debian/rules for the oem-config-debconf upstart job.

copying the upstart job file in place does not resolve the issue completely. one condition for starting oem-config-debconf is "started dbus".
we do not install dbus in the preinstalled headless images so oem-config-debconf never starts. the package either needs to depend on dbus or drop the condition from the upstart job.

to be honest i dont think the debconf frontend needs dbus anywhere so i would prefer just dropping the "started dbus" from the job script.

  * Install oem-config-debconf properly. (LP: #732576)
  * Don't trigger oem-config-debconf on dbus.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * scripts/plugininstall.py: do not explode if /proc/swaps is missing,
    thanks to Gilles Grandou (LP: #651886).
