By default? Probably not going to happen. Upstart lost out to systemd in 
the tech-ctte vote.

While upstart lost out to systemd in the vote, it did so by only one 
vote which implies that upstart is (or was) a well respected init 
system. You should be able to install upstart (which is one of the 
providers^Wdependencies of the "init" metapackage) and have it supplant 
systemd.

You should probably be aware, though, that sysv (lowest common 
denominator) and systemd (new default) will probably have more init 
scripts than upstart. If you find a package that won't start because it 
has a systemd service, but neither a sysv script nor an upstart job, 
then that's probably worthy of a bug report.
