I tried removing and re-installing mysql, and even during the
installation of the package, the server is unable to start via upstart:

bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Note the instances of "initctl: Unknown job: mysql" 

and again, if I remove the upstart script, it starts just fine:
bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo rm -f /etc/init/mysql.conf 
bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service mysql start
 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                        
                                                                        [ OK ] 

I also looked at the tgt daemon which I also noticed was failing when
trying to install devstack:

bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service tgt start
start: Unknown job: tgt
bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo rm /etc/init/tgt.conf 
bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service tgt start
 * Starting target framework daemon tgtd                                        
                                                                        [ OK ] 

In fact, I get the same "Unknown job" message for every single service
that has an upstart script in /etc/init.

** Package changed: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) => upstart (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

+ NOTE: I originally filed this against mysql-server, but in reality what
+ I'm seeing affects pretty much every upstart job.  I can't start them,
+ stop them, or query them.  I can do fine if I delete the upstart script
+ causing 'service' to fall back to sysvinit scripts in /etc/init.d/
+ however.
+ 
  Installed mysql-server meta package which pulled in mysql-server-5.5 and
  mysql-server-core-5.5 which created both an upstart script (attached)
  and a sysvinit script.
  
  When starting mysql via the service command, the presense of the upstart
  script causes that script to be used in preference of the sysvinit
  script.  The problem is, with the upstart script present in /etc/init,
  it is impossible to start or stop the mysql service:
  
  bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service mysql status
  status: Unknown job: mysql
  bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service mysql restart
  stop: Unknown job: mysql
  start: Unknown job: mysql
  bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service mysql stop
  stop: Unknown job: mysql
  
  Now, if I remove the upstart script causing service to fall back on the
  sysvinit script, I am able to stop, start and do other things with the
  mysql service:
  
  bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo mv /etc/init/mysql.conf .
  bladernr@klaatu:~/development/devstack$ sudo service mysql status

  So the problem appears to be with the upstart job on Saucy.
  
  I tried this also on a second machine running raring with mysql-
  server-5.5 (5.5.31-0ubuntu0.13.04.1) and mysql-server-core-5.5
  (5.5.31-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) and am able to successfully start and stop the
  mysql service using the upstart script via service:
  
  bladernr@garbagescow:~$ find /etc -name mysql.conf
  /etc/init/mysql.conf
  bladernr@garbagescow:~$ sudo service mysql restart
  mysql stop/waiting
  mysql start/running, process 5825
