Main Inclusion Report for elfutils
Requirements
Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/elfutils; available for all supported architectures
Rationale:
- Build dependency of bug-buddy (libelf-dev)
- Appears to duplicate some functionality from libelf (libelfg0, libelfg0-dev), with which libelf-dev conflicts; main inclusion should consider whether libelf can be dropped from main in exchange
Security:
CVE-2005-1704 (shared with binutils and gdb); no DSA or USN was issued for this package.
- No daemons or setuid programs.
- No network interaction.
- Source code has not been audited.
Quality assurance:
- Package works out of the box without configuration.
- No debconf interaction.
Debian bugs: two open bugs, related to portability to architectures not supported by Ubuntu.
Ubuntu bugs: no open bugs
Maintenance in Debian is calm but active.

- Packaging system: straightforward debhelper packaging, based on historic dh-make templates. Includes patches to upstream source without use of a patch system.
Dependencies:
- no external dependencies outside of glibc
