Bug Description
People like me that have removed ubuntu-minimal (because it is not so minimal) can easily be left with an unbootable system (yes, it just happened to me). I am not aware of the details but I think ubuntu has moved from sysvinit to upstart and friends. While sysvinit was removed, upstart was not installed because it was not being pulled in via ubuntu-minimal. The result was an unbootable system. Since this was a remote system, I had to start from scratch.
