confirming same issue, only thing that made it so bad was creating a
autoban script for repeat offenders, in any event this is obviously a
huge bug, just 'sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/upstart' and will baby sit this bad
boy. Ubuntu 14.04.1 Desktop fresh install.... :(

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

Status in Unity:

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.
