Ok, how? I can make ConsoleKit send something with initctl emit like:

initctl emit sessionadded USER=%USER% CK_SESSION_ID=..

and

initctl emit sessionremoved USER=%USER% CK_SESSION_ID=

and in /etc/init:

sessionadded.conf

start on sessionadded

exec add_mount_point_for_this_user $USER

and simular for sessionremoved.

No, be serious. There is nothing there about the layout of tty.conf 
files in the init directory. I've found plenty about the format in the 
/etc/event.d
directory, but that's an old directory, not used in the new versions as 
I understand it.
I think it's much clearer if you would add some more documentation and 
examples about this and (see above) more to show what's possible with 
upstart.
BTW I've read the wiki, found specifications.
