Swift object expirer upstart job missing

Hi Will

I was going to put this in the swift-object package, but reading the docs in a bit more detail, this feels like something that needs to be in its own package as it does not run on object storage nodes - probably alongside the proxy server:

   http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_expiring_objects.html

How does this sound? I've proposed a merge for the icehouse packages on this basis.

I think a separate package makes sense -- it's very possible this is run on an internal management box, and not part of the cluster proper. Making it a separate package lets people run it wherever it makes sense in their environment.

I think this is a good idea.

Yes, I believe a separate package is the right decision.

This bug was fixed in the package swift - 1.13.0-0ubuntu1
