In theory, that would also be possible following the LSB spec. Note that the upstart format is a different and incompatible one although upstart does have a compatibility mode that enables distributions to transition in a phased manner.

That "compatibility mode" is almost unmaintained in upstart. Maybe that will change now.

It will have to be, or Debian will have to ditch the idea of switching to upstart. We take that stuff seriously.
