Reopened, looking at todays build we see:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/64528090/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-
armel.linux_2.6.38-4.31_BUILDING.txt.gz
make[1]: Entering directory
`/build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/debian/build/tools-/tools/perf'
Makefile:587: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install newt-devel
or libnewt-dev
PERF_VERSION = 2.6.38-rc5
make[1]: Leaving directory

or libnewt-dev
Looks like an easy fix and would make perf a lot easier to use; I guess
just needing libnewt-dev as a build dependency and a libnewt dependency
on the resulting linux-tools-* deb. Perf with the tui is a lot nicer.
