Right, I didn't want to imply this.

I don't think we can, given that upstart and systemd have opposite
approaches to when to start services ("as soon as you can" vs. "not
until you need them"). So even a very coarse approximation like
"compare the running programs after a clean boot" will most probably
give you differences.
