Hi Stephane,
See attached a new patch, that adds only the native fsmonitor.
Thanks, benny

Subject: [PATCH] Add package unison-fsmonitor. (Closes: #819341)
This patch is based on work by John Lenton as
posted to the bug #819341.
Changes since then:
* Drop package unison-fsmonitor-python.
* Fix doc list for unison-fsmonitor. Unison-fsmonitor should not
contain another copy of the docs, so fix up DEB_INSTALL_DOCS
accordingly.
* Make sure that unison-fsmontor is the same version as the base
package. The interface between unison and its helper is private and
subject to change, so make sure that both use the same version.

+Description: file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows with GTK+ interface
+ Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows, written
+ in OCaml. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and
+ directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks
+ on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to
+ date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
+ .
+ Unison offers several advantages over various synchronization methods
+ such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc. Unison can run on and
+ synchronize between Windows and many UNIX platforms. Unison requires
+ no root privileges, system access or kernel changes to function. Unison
+ can synchronize changes to files and directories in both directions,
+ on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a direct
+ socket connection.
+ .
+ Transfers are optimised using a version of the rsync protocol,
+ making it ideal for slower links. Unison has a clear and precise
+ specification, and is resilient to failure due to its careful
+ handling of the replicas and its private structures.
+ .
+ This package adds the optional unison-fsmonitor helper program to
+ detect changes with "unison -repeat watch".
