Looking to packages still needing old FAM/gamin I noticed we have turbotail still, even if plain "tail" will use inotify directly (that is preferred) and, as this looks to be only keyworded for linux setups, this would be unneeded (and also "worse" than plain tail command as explained at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.debian.devel/oFpCSnfzVF4 )

Thanks

sounds fine since coreutils' tail uses inotify and dnotify is deprecated
