UPSTART_EVENT and how to know why invoked

Let's say I have a job that gets stopped in a couple of ways:
stop on stopped foo
stop on stopped bar
I'd like to know which triggered me. The environment variable
UPSTART_EVENT comes close, but only holds "stopped" (or in other
cases, "runlevel") rather than "stopped foo" (or "runlevel 0"). Is
this a bug or a feature? If the latter, what's the rationale? Would
I be screwing myself if I modified the behavior? Would you take the
patch?
BTW, sshd's been crashing pretty regularly on my up-to-date Gutsy
system. If sshd were launched via an upstart jobfile and respawned I
would never notice. That gonna happen someday? :-)
Thanks,
--Eric
