Hrm, I can't find anything on wiki.ubuntu.com;
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
documents it in the Job Control section.

The other way it's documented is that, at least in karmic, sysv-style
initscripts that have been converted to upstart get backwards compatible
symlink to an upstart utility that warns you that it's been deprecated
like so:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
  Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
  utility, e.g. service network-manager stop

  Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
  Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop network-manager
