The build-dependency and the runtime dependency on binutils are now:

               binutils (>= 2.18~cvs20070812-1~),

However, the following binutils versions do not support readelf -p,
even though they satisfy the dependencies:

2.18~cvs20070812-1 (tested)
2.18-1 (judging from the source)
2.18.1~cvs20071027-1 (judging from the source)
2.18.1~cvs20071027-2 (judging from the source)
2.18.1~cvs20080103-4 (judging from the source & patches)

Indeed, the upstream binutils-2_18-branch still does not support
readelf -p.  That code is in binutils-2_19-branch and later.

I think binutils 2.18.50.20080507-1 is the first Debian package
that supports readelf -p.  I cannot verify that though, because
I have neither sources nor binaries for that version.
