This sounds like it was really mysterious. Would you please add some appropriate comments to the script that explains what's going on? Acked-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org>

For a while, ubuntu used upstart scripts as an alternative for sysv scripts. For e.g popular releases like ubuntu12.04 and ubuntu14.04 have upstart infrastructure. From Ubuntu16.04, they have moved to systemd. Ubuntu maintainers have a fork of openvswitch packages with upstart scripts. When a user installs openvswitch-switch package on a ubuntu 14.04 with 'apt-get install openvswitch-switch', two upstart files are added to /etc/init directory. Now, when the same user builds debian packages from this repo and then installs them, the older upstart files don't get deleted. What this means is that a command like 'invoke-rc.d openvswitch-switch restart' calls initctl scripts instead of sysv script that this repo provides. In our sysv scripts we have logic to carefully upgrade kernel module and save openflow flows. This breaks the intent of the package from this repo. This commit deletes any stale upstart files that have remained in the system.
