xbmc-preload service won't start on boot
Running the latest packages from the following apt sources on a Pi B:

I noticed that my system was not starting Kodi on boot, and eventually going blank. After some research, I discovered that the xbmc-failed-start service was killing all XBMC/Kodi processes and also the splash screen if the Kodi services didn't start successfully after waiting for 200 seconds, which explained why the screen would turn black after a while.

As to why the Kodi processes wouldn't start within 200 seconds, I found that the xbmc-preload service would not run automatically. However, if I started the service manually (start xbmc-preload) while the splash screen was still running reporting "network started", Kodi would start successfully. If I tried to start the service after the xbmc-failed-start service had killed the splash process, Kodi would not start.

The xbmc-preload service has the following dependencies:
Code:
start on started xbian-run and filesystem
stop on xbmc-failed-start
At boot, while the splash screen is running, I can see that the xbian-run service has started. However, I cannot find a way to query the filesystem service, since Upstart can't detect it.
Terminal
~ # status filesystem
status: Unknown job: filesystem
Am I missing a system service or does the package or service have broken dependencies?
