Package: grep
Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear grep maintainer,

it would be nice if GNU grep had an option to grep the files
without disturbing their access time.

In the general case, this involves calling utime(2) after closing
the file. However, under Linux this can be done easily and without
any performance penalty by passing the O_NOATIME flag to open(2).
