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.

Best regards,

Claudius
