Example I mentioned solves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612175 also for F14. There was no way to permanently change or disable upstart job in previous release. Files in /etc/init/ are not mark as %config since they are more "initscripts" than real configs. So every change would be lost after package update. I can simply overwrite any part of job using /etc/init/<job>.override with this update and my changes will survive updates.
