Is this an issue both for the hatools and the bootchart package?  The
hatools package seem to be stable.  Perhaps it should be uploaded
first?

It would be great if Michael Meeks can make a tarball release for us
to package, but we should not wait long for this.  Boot speed work
have almost stalled, and I believe we have more work to do before
Squeeze is frozen.  A good bootchart package in testing would make it
a lot easier to work on this:)

Yeah. :)

I prefer to avoid backports on my laptop when possible, also for build
tools to avoid uploading broken packages to Debian Edu/Lenny.  But if
supporting debhelper 7.0.15 is not an option for you, I guess I will
have to find a workaround. :)

Happy hacking,
