I did a look, and the packaging looks really good (and the upstream maintainer too :) ).

However prior to sponsor I would like to see afl working, otherwise it would be not installable
on sid.

(I'll try to work on llvm side in the next few days)


Little (I guess not trivial to fix) nitpick:
you might avoid pthread link
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/python-afl/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/afl.x86_64-linux-gnu.so was not linked against libpthread.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/python3-afl/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/afl.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so was not linked against libpthread.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)


But I really do not think this is trivial to solve (more a cython problem than a python-afl one IIRC)


cheers,

Gianfranco
