Trying to install upstart but failing to unpack the package might still result in a missing /sbin/shutdown, as sysvinit probably has to be removed first. This could, for example, happen because of a power outage. However, my mentioning of upstart was merely acting as an example of why sysvinit could have been removed – of course, other reasons why /sbin/shutdown are missing might still apply and be more probable, too.
