Agreed. I've changed the spec to reference /etc/xdg/upstart/ although I wonder
if we should make this /etc/xdg/upstart/user/ (*) to make it clear the common
jobs in that directory are only for Upstart running as a non-priv Session Init.

Kind regards,

James.

(*) - or even /etc/xdg/init/upstart/user/ maybe.
