The busybox package might conflict somehow indirectly with upstart and
apt plans to remove it. Try this to get different output:

apt-get install busybox upstart

OK, this does not lower the weirdness-level:

n900:~# apt-get install busybox upstart

busybox is already the newest version.
upstart is already the newest version.
