Comment 12 for bug 967229

James, the vt definitely needs to be cleared after plymouth exits (i.e., after lightdm starts up), not before, in order to avoid races. Brian Murray has been looking into this; Brian, any further progress?

First, there's no such facility in upstart.

Second, it doesn't change the fact that any other jobs that are /already stopping/ at the time lightdm stops may generate output.
