Ok, I admit that I should have sent announcement to allow wider awareness. upstart-1.0 branch is in fact minor update of upstart-0.6.5, it was just declared stable. .override files [1] in upstart allows admin to change behaviour of upstart job without changing original file so that change will remain after package update. e.g. if I didn't want allow users to use ctr-alt-del to reboot system, I would create /etc/init/control-alt-del.override file with "manual" stanza. This sounds for me as very good reason to add this.
