@Matthias Klose:

Would you care to specify why the profiler's license violates the Ubuntu 'main' 
component licence policy
http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing? Granted the code has none 
of the standard licenses (it is from 94 after all), but from my reading of 
http://docs.python.org/library/profile.html#module-profile all points are 
addressed (source code, modification, distribution of modified copies under 
same license.).

What reads confusing is the bit of "This permission is explicitly
restricted ... exclusively imported into a Python module", but then it
is a Python profiler after all and I honestly can't see what this might
restrict.

I don't use Ubuntu, but had users stumble over this bug in Ubuntu packaging. If 
you maintain your stance
on excluding parts of the *Python standard library* then please do rename the 
Ubuntu Python to something
else; because without the  *Python standard library* it ain't Python. All other 
partial implementation and ports
I am aware of do reflect their incompleteness by altering the name.

PS: Are there any other parts of the *Python standard library* missing?
