No, you must have created a container without private network namespace.
Since upstart uses an abstact unix domain socket, you can only keep
root in a container from being able to reboot by either (1) starting
the container as a user who is not root and having a private user
namespace (which is not currently recommended since userns is going
through churn), or (2) having a private network namespace.
