Placing the *.override file into /usr/share/upstart/xdg/ also does not help. This is the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/upstart/ item in the "User Session Mode" man page section.

According to upstart(5) it should be possible to disable that with an override: $ cat /usr/share/upstart/sessions/bamfdaemon.override manual but this doesn't work, bamfdaemon is still started. I also tried to put "start on disabled" into the *.override file, no effect either. (Background: I'm trying to migrate jobs to systemd units one by one, thus for every systemd user unit that I add I need to disable the corresponding upstart job).
