Well, it failed in a bad way because large chunks of its brain were
missing.  I don't think we're going to make the mountall code more
complex to support the case of core upstart jobs being absent from the
filesystem.

No, there's no fixed timeout that's appropriate here.  If a user wants
to run a job at boot after mounting one of their filesystems, and that
job takes 5 minutes to complete, that's perfectly valid.
