Title:
  upstart-file-bridge 'EVENT=create' not working for directories

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  description "Test Upstart"
  start on file FILE=/home/ubuntu/Desktop/test/ EVENT=create
  stop on runlevel [!2345]
  script
      exec /bin/echo -e "<- upstart\t"$(date) >> /home/ubuntu/Desktop/out.txt
  end script

  Problem:
  If 'EVENT=create' is set - as referenced in the manpage of the upstart-file-bridge - the above script doesn't fire as expected. If I remove the event specification and the script reacts to all file events, ~/Desktop/out.txt gets a new line. Only 'EVENT=modify' seems to work.

  Further:
  'EVENT=delete' doesn't work too. If I did no mistake, than its a separate bug.

  Note:
  The upstart cookbook's upstart-file-bridge example calls the create event not 'EVENT=create' like in the man page, but 'EVENT=created'. Both versions doesn't work.

  PS: I'm a Upstart newbie, so maybe I just did something wrong.
