Upstart is available in the Debian package repos, and it was used for a while by Red Hat before they switched to Systemd.

Fedora package != RHEL defaults. Debian package != Debian defaults.

RHEL 6.4 still uses systemv init, in fact.

EL6 uses upstart[1], the SysV init scripts are using the rc compatibility.

Have the Debian defaults (by some definition) had an opportunity to update since upstart was packaged for Debian?
