Package: libgoogle-perftools0
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: serious

libgoogle-perftools0 contains the command line profiling utility,
/usr/bin/google-pprof:

$ dpkg-deb -c libgoogle-perftools0_1.4-1_amd64.deb | grep usr/bin/ 
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2009-09-18 11:25 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root    128341 2009-09-18 11:25 ./usr/bin/google-pprof
$

per debian policy 8.2, this is not allowed:

    8.2 Shared library support files

    If your package contains files whose names do not change with each
    change in the library shared object version, you must not put them
    in the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the
    shared library cannot be installed at the same time without filename
    clashes, making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily difficult.
