You aren't getting constructive responses here because you did not submit an
actionable bug report.  If you are experiencing a bug in upstart or in
systemd (or both), the way to get that resolved is by filing a bug report
against upstart or systemd (or both).  If you think a particular bug is
sufficiently grave and intractable to warrant Debian revisiting its choice
of init system, there are ways to trigger such a review.  But filing a
'general' bug report declaring that 'non-sysvinit init systems are made of
fail' is not the way to accomplish anything.

As regards the two issues you've described: the first is not a bug.  It's a
necessary change in how we view the boot in a truly event-driven system. 
There is no sane default policy for how to interpret entries in /etc/fstab
on upgrade except to regard them as all mandatory - *but* it's important
that the admin be given the opportunity to intervene to override this
policy.

The second is certainly a bug.  I'm sure if you had filed it as a bug report
against either of upstart or systemd, the response from the maintainers
would have acknowledged that it is a bug.  But you haven't done this; nor
have you provided concrete details about the circumstances of your failure.

So while you have encountered a bug, I'm sure it's a better use of the
systemd maintainers' time to wait for a real bug report from someone who is
actually interested in working with them to get this bug fixed.
