I am definitely NOT trying to switch inits!  I'm not sure why this
happened.  I simply ran an `apt-get dist-upgrade` per the log I posted (
https://dpaste.de/iVgQo/raw/) and it did it.

I don't know what triggered it... all I can say is that, prior to this, my
normal upgrades have been done with `aptitude upgrade`.  The only reason I
did the extra dist-upgrade is that apticron was telling me about those
updates, they didn't happen with `aptitude upgrade`, so I bumped up to the
`apt-get dist-upgrade`.

I've since found this bug report, so I'm apparently not alone (and I also
happen to be running under openvz... hmm):
https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2647

I've tried re-installing upstart (ugh... "Yes, do as I say!"):
http://paste.debian.net/plain/21059

We'll see how that goes.  I'm ensuring I've got full backups in place
before trying a reboot.
