I can answer this... Upstart supports old init style scripts, but that's not all it supports. You can do things like have inter-service dependencies, so that if service A needs service B to be available first, they you can tell it to wait for service B in its upstart config file. Upstart can watch config files and reload them, if it's told to, without you having to do so explicitly (which is pretty cool). Upstart supports on-demand starting of services (in a DBus like way). systemd offers essentially the same benefits.
