Parallelism will make things harder to debug because then there's more
chance for timing related issues (-> whether something works, differs from
machine to machine). Besides switching to Upstart, the race conditions
exposed by parallelism need to be fixed.

One can get from Upstart scripts a graph of how the things are started
which helps a bit on understanding how things work.
