If the install was performed specifying "console=", then the installer would have attempted to create a suitable Upstart job for that device.

The file to consider is:

    http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/finish-install/master/view/head:/finish-install.d/90console

= Plan =

(Suggested by Colin some time ago):

1) Go through finish-install.d/90console and make sure that all the special cases and things that it handles will also be handled (not necessarily in the same way) by the new tty-serial.conf.

2) Make sure that any old installer-created jobs are removed on upgrade to the first version of Upstart that ships tty-serial.conf.

3) Remove the Upstart serial console handling code from finish-install.

4) Synchronise uploads of upstart and finish-install to minimise the chance of confusion.
