[Blueprint server-karmic-update-motd-inotify] Enhance update-motd to use inotify

[Dustin Kirkland]

Blueprint changed by Dustin Kirkland:

Whiteboard changed to:

With contribution from Jon Bernard, this feature has been mostly
implemented in upstream update-motd.

We need to do a few more, minor things to complete the feature.  Mainly,
we need an init script, or some other sticky mechanism for launching the
inotify portion of the daemon.  Scott James Remnant suggested that
upstart could be used to do this.

This blueprint suggests that we complete this functionality and use
inotify for some update-motd events.

Additionally, we should discuss the types of applications that perhaps
should be hooked to add useful information in the /etc/motd.
