Should be a law against it. However, it should be possible to install
the old grub over the newfangled thingy, using grub-install [1]. That at
least should provide time to become a late adopter.
At least in the case of "upstart", it still supports the /etc/rc?.d and
/etc/init.d directories. Legacy comaptibility is a boon for legacy
skillsets.
I'm on your side.

there's not a current package.
