There are no "log-priority" or "--debug" options for "start", I believe
you have confused the man page.
There are separate commands to initctl, for example:
initctl log-priority debug
initctl start <service>
The first changes Upstart's logging priority, and the second starts the
service; you'll see more verbose log messages in the log as a result
** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
