Just chiming in that this has effected me as well. Usually get the 'disk
space is low' warning, then an 'rm -rf ~/.cache/upstart' clears up the
issue. This has happened multiple times. Just tried removing logrotate
and reinstalled as someone recommended earlier in the thread.

Running 14.04.1, base Ubuntu

Title:
  ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and
  mediascanner

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “mediascanner” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking
  up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that
  mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of
  space respectively.

  I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed
  logrotate package because of a conflict.
