calm now (finally) detects when changes have been made in the relarea 
via inotify, so this manual step is no longer required.

So, if you have shell access, and you make changes directly in the 
relarea, calm should now notice, reread it, and update the setup.ini 
package manifest automatically, without you needing to explicitly 
request that (or wait until the next scheduled rescan, if you can't 
request it due to the permission problem identified below...)
