Why you don't remove task-proper-tools from your images RDEPENDS and add
only tools you need which aren't provided by upstart?

or use something like 
DISTRO_SYSLOG ?= "syslog-ng"
in task-proper-tools

and set 
DISTRO_SYSLOG = upstart
for your distro if distro level granularity is fine for you (all
supported images are using upstart).
