= Main Inclusion Report for elfutils =

== Requirements ==

 0. ''Availability:'' [[http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/elfutils]]; available for all supported architectures
 0. ''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
 0. ''Security:''
  * [[http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2005-1704|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.
 0. ''Quality assurance:''
  * Package works out of the box without configuration.
  * No debconf interaction.
  * [[http://bugs.debian.org/src:elfutils|Debian bugs]]: two open bugs, related to portability to architectures not supported by Ubuntu.
  * [[http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elfutils|Ubuntu bugs]]: no open bugs
  * [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/elfutils|Maintenance in Debian]] is calm but active.
  * [[ftp://sourceware.org/pub/systemtap/elfutils/|Upstream]] is calm.
  * This package has no hardware interaction requirements.
 0. ''Standards compliance:'' 
  * Complies with both the [[http://www.pathname.com/fhs/|FHS]] and [[http://www.de.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/|Debian Policy]] in its library packaging.
  * Packaging system: straightforward debhelper packaging, based on historic dh-make templates.  Includes patches to upstream source without use of a patch system.
 0. ''Dependencies:''
