Upstart is our init now; inittab is no longer used.
See /etc/event.d/tty[1-6].
Ah, yes, thank you. I've added tty[7-24] now, except for tty11 where I
prefer my gui, for some old reason I no longer even recall.

Upstart watches the files in /etc/event.d and refreshes automatically when
they're changed.
Indeed, this did bring up text consoles. However, I've had mixed results
with the gui. Because I was trying to move the gui to tty11, I first did
telinit 3. I did indeed get a text console on tty7, but a followup
telinit 5 didn't bring the gui back. I had to reboot on one machine, and
even that hasn't helped with the older i386 yet. Strange on the last
point.

inittab will probably contain some helpful comments explaining all this for
F9 final.
