Package: cpuset
Version: 1.5.6-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I was looking into setting up a cset shield in order to move kernel
threads off of an isolated CPU when I ran into this:

```
$ sudo cset shield -v
cset: **> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cpusets//cpus'
$ sudo cset shield -c 1-3
cset: **> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cpusets//cpus'
```

None of the invocations I have tried have said anyhting different. The
reason for is (I think) described here:
https://code.google.com/p/cpuset/issues/detail?id=10

The upstream bug is several years old, which is worrying.

I although this is not directly a debian related issue, I am filiing in
case it is possible for the Debian team to locally patch.

As it stands cset is not functional on Debian 8.

Thanks
