Install Upstart 1.3 on Ubuntu 10.04

I wanted to upgrade Upstart on Ubuntu 10.04 to make use of the new user jobs feature.  I cherry picked packages from Ubuntu 11.10 via http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-11.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/ . Here's what I came up with: (Run each command separately, some require user input)

I found that dbus wasn't installed, and as such running start foo would fail:

$ start foo
start: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory


Fixed via sudo apt-get install dbus
