Upstart 1.13 now provides _three_ options for full flexibility:
--confdir=, --append-confdir= and --prepend-confdir=. All options can be
specified multiple times. See the MP for details and examples and
init(5) for the gory details:

Bug description:
  A requirement from OEMs/Carriers for customization is to allow for
  customized upstart jobs/overrides.  It seems that the best way to do
  this would be to allow --confdir to take multiple directories, so that
  we can include a directory under /custom.

  As for session jobs, I assume we can just set /custom as an
  XDG_CONFIG_DIR, and have /custom/upstart with jobs there.
