inotifyx is required for pytagsfs (which is already in Debian).
Upstream of pytagsfs has decided to use inotifyx instead of python-inotify 
because of its frequent breakage.
Thus this ITP.

Looking at the authors announcement email [1], looks like python-inotify is 
going to be further maintained as inotifyx.
