Hi,
a few days ago I uploaded new versions of valgrind to unstable. The main reason
was fixing the #762386 bug (essentially, the valgrind:amd64 package had a
spurious Depends on libc6-i386 which wasn't needed), but I also took advantage
of the situation and added some clarifications to the README.Debian file.
The original bug report was severity: normal, but since it caused the
installation of the libc6-i386 on amd64 systems indiscriminately with no reason
at all, and since it doesn't affect the actual functionality (the package is not
actually needed), I think it should be in jessie as well.
I stupidly uploaded the first new version before asking for pre-approval,
however I don't expect to do any more uploads for valgrind in the foreseeable
future, so even if the unblock gets rejected the uploads shouldn't cause any
problem.
The changelog entries are:
valgrind (1:3.10.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Call dh_shlibdeps unconditionally
-- Alessandro Ghedini <ghedo@debian.org> Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:52:29 +0100
valgrind (1:3.10.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6 (no changes needed)
* Fix changelog typo (Closes: #768303)
* Fix note about instrumenting i386 binaries on amd64 (Closes: #768412)
-- Alessandro Ghedini <ghedo@debian.org> Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:46:30 +0100
valgrind (1:3.10.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Add note in README.Debian about instrumenting i386 executables on amd64
* Avoid Depends: libc-i386 on valgrind:amd64 (Closes: #762386)
-- Alessandro Ghedini <ghedo@debian.org> Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:56:12 +0100
And the debdiff is attached.
unblock valgrind/1:3.10.0-4

valgrind for Debian
-------------------
+ Debian's valgrind package for the amd64 architecture is built to support i386
+ binaries as well (that is, valgrind:amd64 can instrument both amd64 and i386
+ executables). However, to make this work, the libc6-dbg:i386 package must be
+ installed as well.

Debian's valgrind package comes stripped of any debug symbols, which are
provided by the valgrind-dbg package. Note that it's recommended to install
such package because without those symbols valgrind may generate less
