Blueprint changed by Dustin Kirkland:
Whiteboard changed to:
I have spoken with Jon Bernard who has offered to implement this
blueprint.
Basically, I think we should:
* create a separate binary package, update-motd-inotify, that provides an alternative update-motd implementation that uses inotify
* this package might need to reside in universe, if it depends on other package(s) in universe (inoticoming?), and it might replace or conflict with the cron-based update-motd
* it will need an initscript that implements start, stop, restart, and status of starting the daemon, watching the /var/run/update-motd directory for changes
* it will need a small script that concatenates the data together for publication (see the implementation in the original update-motd script--we might want to extract that)
