inittab replacement?
Is there in upstart something similar to /etc/inittab? In particular, I want to use more TTYs than default (6) and I don't know where to configure this setting.

The /etc/event.d directory is the upstart equivalent, each file in there describes a job that upstart should manage.
You'll find that there are files that cause getty to be respawned, usually these are just named ttyN (where N is 1-6). Copy one of them to a new name (ttyS0/tty9/etc.), edit the file, and change the arguments to getty to match.
To start it, run "start ttyN" (changing N)

To turn off unneeded gettys should we delete the tty2, tty3 etc files?

I think you can do it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup"
