My understanding is that this bug is marked incomplete because it's currently lacking discussion on how we should handle this.

I propose that the way to resolve this is to implement chroot awareness to upstart and its commands. Perhaps either of these is possible:
- allow starting a separate upstart in each chroot to start/track/manage processes in there
- allow the first upstart to track processes in chroots and add a communication channels in chroots back to the main upstart
- provide a set of compatibility commands to start/stop/restart upstart jobs in chroots keeping basic track of them but not following/respawning them, perhaps in a new upstart-chroot-compat package
- other ideas?
