Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Available in universe, built on all architectures.

[Rationale]
pv shows progress reports for data passing through a pipeline. It has recently 
become a requirement for GKE and thus should be in main.

[Security]
The tracker lists two open CVEs, but it is wrong - they have been fixed quite 
some time ago.

[Quality assurance]
Upstream has a test suite, but it is not run. socat has an important bug in 
Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793384 - it uses to 
few bits for DH parameters by default.

[Dependencies]
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10), libssl-dev, libwrap0-dev.

[Standards compliance]

[Maintenance]
The package is relatively small, but since it interfaces with (potentially SSL) 
sockets, it might need some security updates. Otherwise it can be kept in sync 
with Debian.

[Background information]
There was a previous MIR attempt in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/socat/+bug/829234

** Affects: socat (Ubuntu)
