Public bug reported:
Electrice fence has no open bugs in Ubuntu and is subject to only very
slow change, so it should not add maintenance work in Main.
Availability: Available in Universe and built on all archs.
Rationale:
The rationale for this MIR is as a build-dependency for clamav. It is a
build-dep in Debian, but we drop it in Ubuntu. If we promoted electric-
fence in Ubuntu we could run more tests and it would make it so the
package could be sync'ed. Up to now, because of apparmor support,
clamav had to be merged, but that's being incorporated into Debian, so
if we could promote electric-fence it would reduce the overall
maintenance workload in Ubuntu.
Security:
Security history is good
Quality assurance:
For use with clamav, usage is automatic. The package does document it's use
well for it's target audience (developers).
It has no debconf questions
No Ubuntu bugs. Two minor Debian bugs (newest is from 2005). No expectation
that maintenance work would be needed to support this package.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/electric-fence
There is no "upstream" bug tracker as this is a Debian native package.
There is no UI.
Dependencies:
All build-dep and depends in Main.
Standards compliance: No FHS issues. It's slightly unusual because
it's a test library, not a normal shared lib, but it works as it is.
Maintenance: No maintenance expected.
Background information: Information in the package is clear
Security checks
Check how many vulnerabilities the package had in the past and how
they were handled by upstream and the Debian/Ubuntu package:
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/cve.html: No entries.
http://secunia.com/advisories/search/: No entries
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/universe.html - No
entries
Check for security relevant binaries. If any are present, this
requires a more in-depth security review.
No security relevant binaries.
