Bug Description

First of all an Happy New Year:)

All upstart logfiles Dos/Windows line endings eg \r\n (^M) and not the normal unix end of line

I'v seen this on 3 different boxes in my home env.

steps to reproduce:
Open the logfiles with midnight-commander(f3 and then f4 for hex mode) or an ordanary hexviewer
I see the lines ends with a 0x0d 0x0a
when i open the log files in /var/log/upstart with mcedit i see the ^M at each end of line in the logs

i think the lines should end with a normal 0x0a (\n) as we are on a linux system
but maybe i'm wrong and this is the intended behavior of init(upstart)

I searched already for releated bugs here but maybe i missed something
