** Description changed:

  [Overall Rationale]
  Required to support full functional/performant ceph package.
  
  Dependency on google-perftools was dropped during 12.04 cycle to support
  late MIR; it would be good to re-enable these features for 12.10.
  
  >> google-perftools - http://code.google.com/p/gperftools <<
  
  [Availability]
  In universe since hardy (maybe before)
  
  [Rationale]
  Provides tcmalloc - a high performance implementation of malloc for 
multi-threaded environments. This is important from a performance perspective 
for ceph.
  
  http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tcmalloc.html
  
  [Security]
  No CVE's found.
  
  [Quality assurance]
  Package has test suite but currently not enabled: BLOCKED
  Blocked by 
http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/issues/detail?id=428&q=heap-checker_unittest
 - issues with libc6 2.15 compatibility.
  
  [Dependencies]
  Other than libunwind (on this MIR):
  Runtime dependency on gv for google-perftools - this can probably be dropped 
to Suggests (currently recommends).
  
  [Standards compliance]
  Package build is CDBS rather than debhelper but looks OK.
  Two lintian warnings and a few informational messages - nothing significant.
  
  [Maintenance]
  No outstanding bugs in Debian and looks to be well maintained.
  Current issue in Lucid - its not installable - but not relevant for 12.10 MIR.
  Upstream primary maintainer has just changed - Feb 2012
  
  [Background information]
  Quote "Perftools is a collection of a high-performance multi-threaded 
malloc() implementation, plus some pretty nifty performance analysis tools."
  Renamed upstream to gperftools.
  
  >> libunwind - http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/ <<
  
  [Availability]
  In universe since hardy
  Currently does not target armhf
  
  [Rationale]
  Dependency for google-perftools; required for ceph.
  
  [Security]
  No CVE's found.
  
  [Quality assurance]
- Currently FTBFS: INPROGRESS
- Needs merge/sync from Debian: INPROGRESS
- Test suite not enabled and has test failures: INPROGRESS
+ Test suite is currently not enabled and has test failures.
  
  [Dependencies]
  All in main.
  
  [Standards compliance]
  Pre-debhelper 7 style, but relatively simple - looks OK.
  
  [Maintenance]
  Maintained in Debian (no outstanding bugs); FTBFS on some platforms so not 
brilliant.
  
  [Background information]
  Only used in amd64 build - need to investigate why.
