Odd that I didn't notice that before, I indeed have several thousands of
those on my servers ;)

Anyway, it's not going to impact the performance or cause any real
effect besides polluting upstart's instance list.

Even though I could (with my ifupdown maintainer hack on) fix the
upstart job to ignore veth, it's not really the right solution, as Serge
said, I think the right way of handling that would be to get a
net-device-removed even from udev when moving a veth device inside the
container.
