I disagree with the statement made by ``Scott James Remnant`` in comment 5.
Let me explain why: The /etc/inittab approach is very widely used on all Unices:
The traditional init system is practically the only one, that has been used.
As I understand the upstart project has goal to replace init on Linux.
To get acceptance by other vendors the project should try to
make the move to upstart as painless as possible. This not only applies
to Ubuntu but also to Debian. I strongly suggest to add a stub
/etc/inittab file to the upstart package containing comments
pointing to documentation.
