I found a way to bring that shutdown messages back by disabling
/etc/init/plymouth-shutdown.conf (echo "manual" >> /etc/init/plymouth-
shutdown.override)

Title:
  No "stopping" messages shown during shutdown

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ubuntu 14.04 server amd64 (running on a Mac Mini FWIW)

  During shutdown, no messages are displayed as daemons are being
  stopped. This makes it almost impossible to debug problems where a
  daemon is causing the shutdown to freeze.

  How to demonstrate:

  (1) Ctrl-F7 to show the virtual console where the bootup messages are. The last message seen is:
  "* Stopping System V runlevel compatibility"

  (2) Ctrl-F1 to get back to first virtual console.

  (3) Add a divider to the bootup messages:

  echo "---" >/dev/tty7

  (4) "sudo reboot"

  The console switches to VC7, but in general, no further messages are displayed after the divider. Exception: when I have NFS packages installed, I do see
  * rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"

  but that's it.

  The only way I've been able to find out what's causing the system to
  hang at shutdown is to reinstall the system from scratch and keep
  adding packages until I find the one causing the problem.
  (Specifically it turned out to be avahi-daemon, but that's the subject
  of a separate bug report)

  At http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging it says you can run
  "initctl events" to see what's happening, but that command-line option
  is not supported in the Upstart included in Ubuntu 14.04.
