Bug Description

upstart kills rsyslog as one of the first jobs. So after that no other jobs are logging that they are shutting down and what they are doing during shutdown.

The default should be shutting down logging at the latest possible point in time when shutting down a machine.

As far as I can see this has always been like that -- /etc/init.d/rsyslog and the upstart job also only start at runlevels 2/5 (corresponding to multi-user.target) and thus don't cover early boot and late shutdown.

Please note, you can enable the persistent systemd journal to get logging that lasts much further into the shutdown sequence. See /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz

Sorry, I thought, systemd was default in Ubuntu 14.04, but it seems, upstart is still taking care of most init related things in Ubuntu 14.04.
