It has been almost three months without a reply, so to address Heaptrack's discoverability issue I plan an NMU delayed + x days to 2019-03-01 of the proposed updates to the description, without merging the commits from experimental. I will file a new MR to make integrating the NMU easier. Memleax has been abandoned upstream and I have filed a RoM NPOASR at #923206, and Heaptrack now appears to be the only software in Debian that can debug memleaks in an already-running process. Respectfully, Nicholas
