Bug Description
[Impact]
* ~/.cache/upstart contains user session logs which are rotated upon login. But due to excellent hibernate & syspend/resume people can spend weeks without re-logging in. Thus those logs can grow uncontrollably.
[Test Case]
* Monitor logs in ~/.cache/upstart note how many of them can be uncompressed
* With updated packages, those should be rotated every hour (17 minutes past the hour by default)
[Regression Potential]
* user session logrotation was already inplace, we are now adding one more start on condition to it, which is triggered via system cron.hourly

Confused as to why this bug has been raised? I have already fixed this issue to rotate logs hourly in 1.12.1-0ubuntu2 ?? Also why 17 minutes past the hour exactly?
