For me, papi is a library with its tools to access hardware performance
counters. It used a lot on some plateform (NUMA, ...) to analyze the
performance of HPC programs.
Google with "papi" give this link in first :
http://icl.cs.utk.edu/papi/

This software is not packaged in Debian (yet ? but it needs a patched
kernel). However, I think I would be better if you do not use 'papi'
as the package name. Perhaps openprinting-papi or openprinting or ...
What do you think ?

  Best regards,
    Vincent
