Steve Langasek (vorlon) pointed out in bug #1269731 that the issue may
in fact have been fixed, as I could have been running the old version of
upstart when the error occurs.

Running the "telinit u" command after the upgrade seems to confirm this,
at it does not cause a kernel panic.

Therefore, I think this was a false alarm.

  In bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1269731
  it says it was fixed in upstart 1.11-0ubuntu2, but as of upstart
  1.12.1-0ubuntu1, it's still there.

  To install libc6, one has to add a fake telinit binary to the path, as
  described in one of the tickets.
