I'd get pretty mad if something kept sending SIGCONT to stuff I stopped for
debugging, etc.

Unless you use SIGSTOP yourself in upstart, or you're trying to work around
some weird userspace util (I've seen one, once, that used SIGSTOP/CONT to
throttle down CPU usage) -- in which case it should be an optional feature
IMHO -- I'd advice you to not send SIGCONT.
