I hit this behavior too.
I upgraded 14.04 on test laptop to 15.04 and it worked ok , but after last update system missing /sbin/init and won't boot.
before rebooted I tried to issue init command and get message the /sbin/init provided by upstart (systemd was not refenced)
also searching for init like dpkg -S /sbin/init results in error that no package containing /sbin/init
after reboot system brokes, restored by just copy /sbin/init, reboot and links from install cd of 14.04
doing dpkg -l upstart does not list /sbin/init, shutdown etc so --reinstall upstart does not help
aparently upstart 1.13 is broken
and system no switched to systemd while release upgrade

Title:
  Critical system files such as /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/init missing
  after updating upstart

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1)
  Description:    Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:        15.04

  2)
  upstart:
    Installed: 1.13.2-0ubuntu9
    Candidate: 1.13.2-0ubuntu10
    Version table:
       1.13.2-0ubuntu10 0
          500 http://mirror.cloud.online.net/ubuntu-ports/ vivid/main armhf Packages
   *** 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What you expected to happen
  System continues to run normally with critical system files (listed below) intact.

  4) What happened instead
  The following critical system files are all missing after updating the upstart package using apt-get:
  /sbin/halt
  /sbin/init
  /sbin/poweroff
  /sbin/reboot
  /sbin/runlevel
  /sbin/shutdown
  /sbin/telinit

  This is a serious bug which could prevent rebooting/shutdown of the OS
  and completely disable it due to missing /sbin/init.
