Now that /etc/inittab has been reduced to a stub, where does one add agetty and mtty entries?

Look in /etc/event.d and http://upstart.ubuntu.com/

The quick way to get an answer is: find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; and examine files listed.
Note to other pedants: I know about xargs. let's keep it simple. ok?

Surely you want a pattern in there somewhere?
Without one, that command never terminates - grep will sit there interpreting the value of {} as a pattern and trying to read from stdin:
$ find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; &
$ ps ax | grep grep 1849 pts/48 S+ 0:00 find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; 1850 pts/48 S+ 0:00 grep -l /etc/motd
Been doing that for a while now...

One hopes Chuck (and others) can read a man page:-) I gave a skeleton for finding files and doing something with them.
The commands I gave are sufficient for the task, though users do need to review them and adapt them to their circumstances.
Such as by discovering, as you did, that more information is needed.
Now folk have had time to digest that, try this: sudo find /etc/ -type f -print0 | sudo xargs -0 egrep -l '/[^/]*getty'

Well if one was to use something like:
# pinfo manpage
then there is not a problem.
# info manpage
and I'd not put any money on it.
