There are various ways around this; for example in Ubuntu, the script
that calls killall5 in the shutdown process explicitly ignores any
process managed by Upstart (by passing the list of pids to killall5 -o)

I guess longer term we'll want to have Upstart just do the killall5
thing itself; perhaps even doing the reboot() call itself.  Thoughts?
