  Description     : Directory watcher uploading to remote storage via rclone (tested with WebDAV/Nextcloud)
   Instant Remote Storage monitors a local directory and mirrors files to a
   remote using rclone. It works with most rclone-supported backends (tested
   with WebDAV/Nextcloud). It normalizes filenames based on MIME type, treats
   renames as remote moves, and performs crash-safe two-phase uploads. A small
   helper configures a templated systemd unit for simple “drop anything here”
   workflows.

Rationale / usefulness:
 - Simple “dropbox-like” workflow for any rclone-supported backend.
 - Lightweight: POSIX shell + inotify-tools + rclone; no long-running daemons beyond systemd unit.
 - Provides systemd integration, manpages, wrapper and setup helper.

Packaging notes:
 - Standards-Version: 4.6.2; debhelper-compat 13.
 - Depends: rclone, inotify-tools, file; Recommends: xdg-utils.
 - Lintian: clean aside from pedantic watch-signature notice.

I intend to maintain this package and I am seeking a sponsor for the initial upload.
