W package-installs-deprecated-upstart-configuration
The package installs files into the /etc/init
directory which is used by Upstart, a replacement for the /sbin/init
daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, etc.
However, Upstart was removed in Debian "stretch" and these files are thus no longer useful and should be removed.
