Scott mentioned that upstart is not as dependent on ppoll/pselect as it once was so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

The ppoll/pselect patch is now upstream in 2.6.32 (369842658a36bcea28ecb643ba4bdb53919330dd). If we feel the need, it can be cherry-picked into the Karmic ARM kernels (Marvell and Freescale).

For Lucid, Marvell is already on 2.6.32, meaning they already have ppoll/pselect support. Freescale is still on 2.6.31 though, so they will need the patch to be cherry-picked from 2.6.32.
