Yes, Ubuntu Desktop (hardy at least) will use /etc/inittab if it exist.

##/etc/event.d/rc-default contains close to top of file...

	elif [ -r /etc/inittab ]; then
	    RL="$(sed -n -e "/^id:[0-9]*:initdefault:/{s/^id://;s/:.*//;p}" /etc
/inittab || true)"
	    if [ -n "$RL" ]; then
		telinit $RL
	    else
		telinit 2

But what is proper runlevel for multiuser console mode on ubuntu???
