Public bug reported:

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1140168:

Package: src:dtrace
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: serious
Tags: sid forky patch

dtrace uses the private libbinutils APIs, which result in 
uninstallability when binutils is updated:

Package: libdtrace2
Depends: libbinutils (>= 2.46), libbinutils (<< 2.46.1), ...


to avoid this, please link dtrace statically against libbinutils, and 
record the dependency in a built-using attribute.

The attached patch assumes that dtrace can be linked with libctf-nobfd.
