I don't see a problem with translating /etc/inittab when upstart is first installed.

You are clearly missing the point.  There are no essential problems
with translating on the first installation.  There are troubles

What did I just say? Did you see "first installed?"

with keeping those translations intact across upstart updates.
Or you are proposing to keep /etc/inittab indefinitely as a kind
of a "master" configuration and run those translations every
time upstart is updated?  That does not sound very appealing.

Having done the translation, hide inittab with the usual rename.

And what happens the next time when an update showed up?  Keep in
mind that your translations are not marked as configuration files.

It's not the first time upstart is installed, and inittab is hidden by being renamed. Since it's hidden, it remains as documentation against the possibility the translation was inadequate.

It doesn't seem to me you're understanding what I'm trying to say.
