insserv still creates the links. Startpar, which is the component that runs
as boot, recognizes that the init scripts should be masked by upstart jobs.

Or to ensure the package is including /lib/lsb/init-functions and is used
with upstart >= 1.12.1-0ubuntu6, which includes Dimitri's change to make all
LSB init scripts DTRT automatically.

Correct.

Yes, exactly.
