It's fixed upstream, see http://bugs.python.org/issue12417 for details. > Could someone point me at the process for getting package > python-profiler for python 2.7 reviewed and included in Trisquel as > the pstats is module is part of Python Core.

It would be better to just not remove it and have it in the package with Python and the rest of its standard library. (Non-Debian-based distros which I know do this, although Parabola GNU/Linux-libre also patches these modules and their documentation to have newer licensing notices.)
