The rules file does need to have the rm line removed, but it removes 'mongodb.upstart', while the file is mongodb-server.mongodb.upstart. The contents of the package as built by pbuilder:

clint@ubuntu:/var/cache/pbuilder/result$ dpkg -c mongodb-server_1.4.3-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb |grep init

Actually I believe the dependency needs to be on xulrunner-1.9.2. Not sure why dh_shlibdeps didn't pick that up.

Thanks for the tips!
