I've reviewed this code and agree that the new features here are low-
impact, and that the bugfixes are important to have for precise.
Provided this stands up in pre-upload testing (currently ongoing), I'm
+1 on this FFe, but I'd appreciate having someone else approve it since
I'm not sure I'm sufficiently arms-length to be objective.

Title:
Feature Freeze Exception request for Upstart in Precise
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have just made an upstream Upstart release (1.5) and wish to get
this added to Precise.
= Rationale =
== Bug Fixes ==
Upstart 1.5 includes fixes for two important bugs seen in Ubuntu:
* bug 936667
* bug 940290
== New Features ==
=== Usage stanza ===
Upstart 1.5 also includes a new "usage" feature, developed by Redhat.
I believe adding this new feature is low-risk but does introduce a new
initctl command ("initctl usage <job>") and a new job stanza ("usage
<string>").
CONTINGENCY: There are currently no users of this feature as it is
new, however if this feature proved problematic, The usage stanzas
could simply be commented out of the relevant /etc/init/*.conf files.
== Code Changes ==
Facilities relating to the early job logging code -- which is already in the Ubuntu version of Upstart -- has been renamed. The early job logging facility ensures that jobs which *end* before the disk becomes writeable are cached until Upstart is notified of writeable disks by calling a new initctl command. When the feature was first introduced into Ubuntu, that command was called "flush-early-job-log", but now that the code is in Upstream Upstart, it has been renamed to the more descriptive
"notify-disk-writeable".
