Title:
  [MIR] upstart-app-launch

Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  == Availability ==

  Available in Universe today.  Source code is available in Launchpad
  and is part of the Ubuntu QA Team's daily build infrastructure.

  == Rationale ==

  The package is a set of Upstart jobs and helper scripts to allow
  Upstart to be used to start applications in a recreatable and confined
  way.  It provides the starting point for application confinement in
  Click packages and for Ubuntu Touch.

  While the majority of the currently building Ubuntu Touch items are in
  Universe this needs to be in main because other packages that are
  already converged with desktop (and thus in main) need to use it in
  the situation that they're on a phone.

  == Security ==

  There is no security history, but it is a critical component for
  ensuring application confinement.  Numerous reviews have been
  requested (and items fixed) from the Ubuntu security team during
  development.

  == Quality Assurance ==

  The package is part of the daily testing and the integration testing
  and Click package testing.  I think that we need to add internal
  format testing (evil desktop files) as well to ensure the helpers are
  robust, but they use stable parsers (GLib) that are already well
  tested.

  == UI Standards ==

  N/A

  == Dependencies ==

  Heavy dependency on Upstart and GLib.  Both in main.  Also uses
  Zeitgeist for logging, also in main.

  == Standards Compliance ==

  No known violations.

  == Maintenance ==

  Maintained by Canonical.
