Where would you recommend it live?
I considered:
* linux-tools (per mdz's suggestion), but this packaged wasn't
installed on any of my development machines, doesn't seem terribly
pervasive, and the only binary provided is "perf" (by
linux-tools-common)
* devtools, but this package is to "to make the life of a Debian
Package maintainer easier"
* coreutils, but these seem to be more about "making your system run"
than "doing hard core development"
* ubuntu-dev-tools, also packaging specific, but friendly
maintainer(s), and I actually have commit access
