Although a vanilla Upstart system won't provide you with the mounted
event, you can of course emit such an event yourself:

initctl emit mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var/run ...

The cookbook is Ubuntu-centric in a sense, but we have gone to some
pains to point out Ubuntu-specific differences:

  http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#ubuntu-specific
  http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#ubuntu-transient

The fact that it does tend to cover Ubuntu more fully is because the
authors are working with Upstart on Ubuntu and also the O/S most users
are most likely to come across with Upstart installed is Ubuntu.

That said, it makes a lot of sense to outline where appropriate the
"generic" methodology so we'll try to bear this in mind for future
updates. If you have concrete examples of where this would be helpful,
please raise bugs on the cookbook itself:

Again, please raise bugs for specific scenarios.
