Bug Description
I suggest to add a stub INITTAB(5) manual page containing a hint that with upstart the /etc/inittab file is no longer used to define which processes should be (re)spawned. It would also help, if there would be a file /etc/inittab.README pointing system administrators to the new /etc/event.d directory, to the manual pages and the /usr/share/
a must read.

Here's a patch to add an initctl man page saying that it is deprecated and has been replaced with the event.d directory. It points the reader to the getting started document on the Upstart website.
Suggested changelog entry:
* util/man/inittab.5: new inittab man page mentioning that inittab has been replaced with /etc/event.d
* util/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): added inittab.5
