This isn't limited to Unity. Just found my start-kde.log had swollen to
several gigabytes because of a V4L bug that VLC had been spewing out for
several minutes.

Upstart needs to be more clever about repeated messages. syslog can, for
example, munch quick duplicates and say "Line repeated x times"

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.
