I think the most appropriate solution is to delay tt1 only.
This way the boot messages will be displayed in a proper fashion:
- Boot messages
- (All daemons started)
- Show the login prompt

Login via ssh is not affected in any way, and most probably this is how system admins will login to a headless server, so the cosmetic change will only be a change for the better.
In my particular case (I'm building virtual appliances), the cosmetic change makes all the difference in the world in the eyes of my clients (having a tidy login prompt looks more "professional").

I believe the change should be what Dario Berzano suggested:

In /etc/event.d/tty1:
Replace
"start on runlevel 2"
with
"start on stopped rc2"

I think it actually SOLVES the bug, not just works around it: it's the proper way to make sure an upsart daemon starts on the end of rc2.
I really hope this will make it into hardy.
