Bug#860957: please ship python-perf (perf.so)

[Evgeni Golov <evgeni@debian.org>]

Version: 4.9.6-3
Severity: wishlist

Ohai,

can you please ship perf.so from [1]?

Preferably this should be in a python-perf package, shipping
 /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/perf.so
 /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/perf-*-py*.egg-info

But I am not sure how well that maps into the fact that
the user can have multiple kernel versions installed at the
same time.

Thanks
Evgeni
