Package: ulatencyd
Version: 0.5.0-7
Severity: wishlist
Justification: difficult
Tags: upstream

ulatencyd embeds a patched copy of libprocps.  Please adapt to use the
stock lib instead as much as possible so fixes only need to happen in one
place.

One possible approach:

 1. Rename all identifiers in the embedded lib so they don't conflict
    with the stock version.

 2. Remove functions and structs that are not used.

 3. Use incremental patches to start adapting the rest of the
    functionality to use the system lib instead of private code,
    starting with structs.

This originally came up in bug#680123[*].

Thanks,
Jonathan

No problem.  Filing. :)
