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? > Anyway, you can disable mudflap by setting the MUDFLAP_OPTIONS > environment variable to "-mode-nop", for example: > I will add a comment to the README.Debian file about this.
