So, coreutils 8.x breaks installwatch[0], but the latest installwatch
is only included in checkinstall[1] and doesn't compile (out of the
box). Shall I revert coreutils to 7.6 (quick fix) or work on fixing
installwatch 0.7.0beta5 (not sure how long it'll take)?

This needs to be fixed soon as users in stable (I haven't checked how
far back, but whenever coreutils 8.x hit stable) have symlinks not
tracked which causes breakage (ifupdown, e2fsprogs, etc.).
