Working perf interface is not really an assumtion.  It is a requirement
for the package to work.  Coz is a profiler, and the profiler collect
information using the kernel perf API.  There is no alternative way to
gather the profiling information.  The only alternatives if the perf
interface is not available is to not verify that the build resulted in a
working program or always assume the build was successful.  Neither are
good options when the goal is to ensure broken binaries do not make it
into the archive.
