C version of bootchart collector?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Hi, Jörg.  I never saw a reply to this email from you, and wonder if
you have any comments on the future of bootchart in Debian?

Since then, Michael Meeks have developed a new version of bootchart,
which I discovered via the FOSDEM videos available from
<URL: http://video.fosdem.org/2010/ >.

I plan to take over the bootchart package in Debian unless it is
updated to support profiling the initrd and provide higher resolution,
because we need this for the boot speed release goal.

Happy hacking,
