Bug Description
I tried to upgrade `upstart' on my Edgy system, but when it started to install the new configuration files, the system totally froze. Not just Xorg, the whole thing. I had to manually power off my laptop.
Then, because `upstart' configuration was broken, I had to fix it by running ``dpkg --configure -a''. After that, everything was alright.

Could you confirm one thing for me ...
Were you already running an earlier version of upstart, or were you running the ordinary sysvinit?
