prelink, without resorting to unwarranted nonsense, like inotify or
similar workarounds.

Why is it simultaneously acceptable to put measures in place to deal with package replacement and unacceptable to put measures in place to deal with prelink when each of these methods of file modification has a well-documented and well-supported method of allowing you to react to them?

Technical reasons would be greatly preferred to value judgments.
