Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.9.0-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After dist-upgrade, valgrind no longer has appropriate default suppressions.
It worked before update; I suspect glibc update caused the problem.  For
example, running the command

  valgrind /bin/true

produces hundreds of errors:
