I'd have to look at the commit to find the exact change, but we did
make a change made in the Ubuntu packaging that could cause the
frontend to start before the backend. The change we made was for the
backend to wait until udev finishes starting before attempting to
start. We were having issues where the backend would start before the
tuners were loaded and also before mysql started. Now the backend
depends on udev to finish before starting. I believe there is
currently a bug report on this (i'd have to look it up), but we can't
have the frontend depend on the backend being started since frontends
can exist without a backend
