Bug#985233: O: lmbench -- Utilities to benchmark UNIX systems

[Al Stone <ahs3@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dannf@debian.org
Control: affects -1 src:lmbench

I intend to orphan the lmbench package.  I no longer use it,
and have not for quite some time, and no longer have the time
to maintain it properly.

Upstream seems to be static (perhaps reasonably so for a benchmark)
but we have cleaned up things a bit over the years.  Cleaned up most
of the lintian issues on the last update, too, but there are still
a couple of minor bugs left.

The package description is:
 Lmbench is a set of utilities to test the performance
 of a unix system producing detailed results as well
 as providing tools to process them. It includes a series of
 micro benchmarks that measure some basic operating
 system and hardware metrics:
 .
  * file reading and summing
  * memory bandwidth while reading, writing and copying
  * copying data through pipes
  * copying data through Unix sockets
  * reading data through TCP/IP sockets
