Package: python
Version: 2.5.4-2
Severity: normal

The python package installs a file in /usr/lib/valgrind/python.supp that says:

# Debian note:
# The file Misc/valgrind-python.supp is placed in an modified form into the
# directory /usr/lib/valgrind as python.supp. There's no need to to add it
# with the --suppressions option.

But that's not true.  Valgrind doesn't load suppressions from this
file by default.  Instead a copy of these suppressions in
default.supp, built from debian.supp, is used.  If you want this copy,
you have to specify it.

Also, I get a number of errors on reads of size 8; the file only
suppresses errors for reads of size 4, but these look like the same
allocator issue.
