Impact - linux-base conflicts with Ubuntu kernel tools packages
Patch Description: delete the reference to /usr/bin/perf

Remove /usr/bin/perf from this package as it conflicts with the Ubuntu
kernel tools package linux-tools-common (which provides the real
/usr/bin/perf). I can think of no reason why this should cause a
problem. /usr/bin/perf is kernel ABI version specific, therefore it can
only be provided by the correct version of linux-tools-$version-$abi.
