I deliberately wrote "should" because it is outside Debian: I don't 
really know if and how it might maybe perhaps work and if so then for 
how long before it maybe perhaps crashes in weird ways.

I know about Debian, and I chose to avoid that feature because it became 
difficult to package for Debian and I considered it a low-priority 
feature (read: I found it more important to ship sass wihtout that 
feature than to not ship sass at all with Debian).

Beware: Ruby-based sass is dead upstream.  I recommend to use sassc 
instead.

For the --watch feature, I suggest you consider generic tools like 
fswatch inotify-tools iwatch


Kind regards,
