Another bit of info that may be relevant - initctl is stopping on
'local-filesystems' in the ps listing - I checked which upstart scripts
in /etc/init refer to that and this is the result:

root@whale:/etc/init# grep local-filesystems *
dbus.conf:start on local-filesystems
mountall.conf:emits local-filesystems
mountall.conf.dpkg-dist:emits local-filesystems
mysql.conf: and local-filesystems
networking.conf:start on (local-filesystems
networking.conf~:start on (local-filesystems
vserver.conf: initctl emit local-filesystems
