My apologies, I have to backtrack on my prev statement. I thought to have read 
that on LWN 
some time in the past, but I cannot find such statement anymore through google.

Fact is, that Debian hasn't moved to upstart OR systemd (or initng for that 
matter) yet, 
even in unstable, and is using insserv (optional) to parallelize the boot 
sequence. They 
are still contemplating which direction to take.

see 
http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/09/msg00003.html

and the most recent announcement 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/05/msg00009.html

.. where upstart is described as 'the most promising candidate'.

Again, sorry for the confusion :)
