reading back through this bug I noticed that I HAD already found /usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian.gz back in December but obviously I had forgotten it, and apparently adding --debug to the kernel parameters didn't make anything any clearer. My current guess is there's something about the netatalk script that makes upstart ignore it -- but a message somewhere would be helpful so I know where to look.
