This is fine with me; I just want a well-defined, standardized place 
where the Upstart project says that disabled events should live.  
Whether they're symlinked, or copied, or moved back and forth is (IMHO) 
a minor detail.

Of course, some distributions will insist on moving and/or renaming 
these directories, but if there isn't an "officially defined" Upstart 
location, then *all* distributions will put them in a different place, 
which might be undesirable.
