Would be giant work to change everything from xbmc->kodi
a couple of package names
many many upstart scripts
If you want to do that you're be welcome
As a discussable alternative would be adding some wrapper scripts, so that noobs do not have to use their brain or search function here

Created simple command
Terminal
xbian@kmxbibr ~ $ kodi
usage:
kodi start|stop|status
xbian@kmxbibr ~ $ kodi stop
xbmc stop/waiting
xbian@kmxbibr ~ $ kodi start
xbmc start/running, process 2511
xbian@kmxbibr ~ $
No sudo required
Will be available with next update of package xbian-package-xbmc-scripts

I believe if I have the story correct, at the time both Upstart and systemd were strong upcoming init systems to replace the aging system-v.
I believe they chose Upstart over systemd for its smaller footprint.
Am not 100% sure bout this as I wasnt around/involved when they decided
