I skimmed the first part of the paper on mudflap linked from the changelog, 
and while I understand (from a non-programmers's perspective) the benefit of 
mudflap, I don't see any explanation for suddenly using it with gringotts.

It would appear that the only application currently in Debian Unstable using 
mudflap is gringotts. Is this something upstream started doing, or a decision 
you made as maintainer? If the latter, is it a decision you would revisit in 
light of how slow it makes the program?

Thanks for the info, and the update to the docs.
