It took me quite a bit of digging to finally understand the startup logic for upstart (at least I *think* I understand it). Might be a good idea to put some sort of blurb in the init(8) manpage that tells how events get propagated. As I understand it, everything in the current setup (runlevel emulation) keys from the "start on startup" phrase in rcS. Maybe a comment in rcS that all the runlevel stuff starts there?
