Right. How about upstart not providing a /sbin/init binary at all, but
instead using an "init=/sbin/upstart" boot parameter? The other binaries
are less critical, so they can be diverted, and upstart can fall back
to sysvinit-provided binaries if it detects sysvinit is running (a'la
module-init-tools, as was already proposed)?
update-grub and friends could check the presence & value of the
"init=..." boot parameter and could warn the user if he/she is trying to
do something stupid.
