The way to express this in upstart is to declare nis 'start on starting
autofs or runlevel [2345]'.  The relationship is written in the opposite
direction compared with LSB init scripts, but is no less flexible.

There are some other behavior quirks to upstart that often result in some
extra shell scripting in cases like this, which is certainly not optimal;
but it's certainly not correct to say that it's *impossible* to do this with
upstart.
