Hi,

You are getting an error for a sanity check we added sometime ago in
Rosetta to prevent this kind of things to happen. After talking with
upstart maintainer we discover that upstart is the exception for the
rule that we implemented in Rosetta. We are going to relax a bit our
checks to allow its translation, if you want to follow the status of
this issue: https://launchpad.net/products/rosetta/+bug/61096

Cheers and thank you for your report!
