Why is it strange? We do add "xdg-<session>" to the list to allow 
specific entries for flavors which need those

Hum, is that really a good idea? Those autostart desktop are already 
correctly handled by session managers, I don't see the point of spending 
time to write a bridge to replace working code, I would assume that 
adding upstart user session wouldn't change anything by default. Then we 
can start replacing .desktop entries by upstart jobs where it makes sense...

The name is a bit verbose /etc/xdg/upstart or /etc/xdg/upstart-user 
should be fine there
