I only know how to achieve this easily with systemd.
To be fair, I hadn't noticed the magic behavior. This part is simple on this package just because systemd is doing the heavy lifting. It would be possible to by using for instance fswatch ran from an init daemon, but it isn't too clean (plus, it seems to loop by also detecting accesses by rebuild). Probably the best way would be to hook apt update to perform the rebuild there if needed. Regards
