Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.2.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Now that valgrind includes the callgrind tool, there is no longer a
"callgrind" shorthand for "valgrind --tool=callgrind". It would be
nice if the valgrind package included this shorthand for all tools.
I've attached a patch to generate wrapper scripts (and manpage
links) for each valgrind tool when making the valgrind package.
