Init script returns exit 0 for status when default has START=no

Currently, if one sets START=no in /etc/default/puppetmaster, the init script will exit with exit-code 0, regardless of whether the service is running or not. In the case where you have a puppet manifest like:

service { 'puppetmaster': ensure => stopped }

Puppet will try to stop the service on every agent run, because status is returning zero, so Puppet thinks it is running.

This issue was fixed upstream in this commit:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/e48902a7d881e84861d366af5ff88fc0146037da

As it's a one-liner, could this be backported into the Ubuntu packages?

Thanks,
Greg
