There should be associated test_*.log files which contain actual
errors where the test-suite has failed.
We don't release upstart unless test suite passes on multiple
architectures, similarly in Debian and Ubuntu we do not use any
binaries that did not pass test-suite.
It's ill advised to use miscompiled / with test-suite errors

Well, one of the upstart jobs in /etc/init/ expects to call that
initscript, probably rcS.conf. If there is no rcS initscript, and the
upstart boot depends on it, you will not boot.
