I was surprised to find it running after booting my system. Apparently it's still used for Xorg session management, like "/sbin/upstart --user" in the ps(1) listing. My guess is that lightdm or something else that initiates your X session either by default, or is configured to, run /sbin/upstart in user mode to handle launching everything in one's session (the panel, the window manager, etc.).
