As you can see on the wiki page you linked, robot_upstart has been released into Hydro, Indigo and Jade (the released badge right under the Package Summary). Assuming you are using an Ubuntu flavour / variant, this means that you can install it using:
sudo apt-get install ros-$distro-robot-upstart
in a terminal (or look for the ros-$distro-robot-upstart package in synaptic or whatever package manager you are using). $distro will be one of hydro, indigo or jade, depending on what you have installed on your machine / robot.
No need to build from source or git clone. In fact, I'd avoid installing anything from source, unless you need to edit packages, it hasn't been released yet or a release with a (critical) bug fix hasn't been released.
Pre-built binaries will be much faster to install, dependency resolution will have already been done for you and you'll get automatic updates.
