Title:
  misc: support upstart within an initramfs

Status in upstart :
  Triaged
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  Many problems arise from the current initramfs scripts not being event
  driven or a flexible state machine.

  Might it be reasonable to use upstart code and configs within the
  initramfs to get the rootfs up instead of reimplementing and
  maintaining initramfs scripts with this functionality?
