Hmm, while that handled was removed Upstream, the code should have
been retained in the Ubuntu package as part of the "telinit u" patch.
The idea is that rather than doing a full state transfer, Upstart just
re-exec's itself and loses all state. That's why we do it as the last
thing before unmounting the root on shutdown, because it then doesn't
matter about the state - there shouldn't be any.
Maybe that part of the patch has been lost?
