James: It seems that this is a chicken and egg problem when someone
doesn't have an initramfs.  I'm quite alright with logging being
disabled if "/dev/pts" isn't mounted.  The problem I have is the large
amount of unhelpful errors that are printed on the console.  If this
could be a concise error, that would be great:

"init: Failed to create pty - temporarily disabling job logging"

And that should be the only error, in my opinion.  On the opposing side,
I can see where having the specific job that wasn't logged noted.
However, that doesn't happen now.  And if it flooded the console, I
don't think I'd be for it.

Again, without knowing how Upstart processes jobs (maybe I should fix
that), I would probably be okay with something like:

"init: Failed to create pty - disabling job logging for the following:
Job1, Job2, Job3, etc."

Simply add a job to the end of the comma-separated list if it isn't
logged.
