The errno(1) utility is a useful resource to users and developers when trying 
to track down an error number/name/description.  See:
 * http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man1/errno.1.html

It depends on headers="/usr/include/asm-generic/errno*.h", so the tool
is somewhat kernel related.

Currently, errno is in the ubuntu-dev-tools package, but the maintainer
of that package unfortunately doesn't want it there.

Talking to apw in IRC, he suggested that the linux-tools package might
be able to take it over.  That would be great.  Assigning this bug to
apw, as he requested.  Let me know what you need, Andy.
