You'll need to do exactly that (or whatever the upstart equivalent is, 
if your distro has chosen to use upstart).  How to do so, though, I 
can't tell you.

You'll need to talk to other users of your distro or the distro package 
maintainers themselves.  I'd recommend asking for further help on the 
mythtv-users mailing list or, even better, on your distro's mailing 
lists/fora/whatever.
