My plan for post-squeeze, unless somebody will have really compelling
arguments about why this should not be done, is to upload new versions
of udev and module-init-tools with upstart jobs instead of init scripts.
Since these are Linux-only packages I will not need to care about
sysvinit compatibility.
A side effect of this will be switching the Linux ports of Debian to
upstart, and hopefully this will create more interest.

Me too, but this would mean immediately breaking the non-Linux ports.
(Not that I would care.)
