I'm the author of this module.

Test::Valgrind is currently broken with valgrind 3.5, because valgrind
people decided to change the meaning of some command-line switches
without any prior warning.

I haven't decided yet how to redesign the code to match these changes.

I'm not sure this really worth being qualified as "serious". No
"serious" code depends on this.

Thanks for packaging this module into Debian. If you have any other
questions, or if you apply vendor patches that aren't specific to the
debian packaging system, please notify me by opening a ticket in the bug
tracker pointed in the documentation.

Vincent Pit.
