They certainly are part of the original thinking; in fact it's a common use
case for an upstart job to stop *itself* in a pre-start script. We've just
run into a bug in a corner case, perhaps because no other packages are
stopping other jobs in pre-start scripts up to now.

That means having to maintain a forked version of the upstart package; it
looks like this script works reliably if called 'start on started tty1'
instead of 'start on starting tty1' which is what's there now, so I think
that's what we should go with pending an upstart fix.
