Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.19.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

trying to use valgrind on programs that contain DWARF5 debuginfo leads to an 
error message:

==92495== Valgrind: debuginfo reader: Possibly corrupted debuginfo file.
==92495== Valgrind: I can't recover.  Giving up.  Sorry.

This is a problem, since e.g. for over a year now, more and more Rust programs 
contain DWARF5 debuginfo (see <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98746>).
They all cannot be debugged or profiled with valgrind.

Reportedly, valgrind 3.20 improves the situation greatly, but unfortunately 
that only has an experimental package available right now.

Kind regards,
Ralf
