Michael, thanks for triaging systemtap bugs. I'd really appreciate if
somebody could triage these Ubuntu specific usability issues which I
don't hit since I mostly use Debian. (See also
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1144040 )

Regarding this particular bug, systemtap 2.1-1~experimental1 added a
patch where any failure of 'stap' will point the user directly to
README.Debian:

$ stap -v -e 'FOO'
parse error: expected 'probe', 'global', 'function', or '%{'
        saw: identifier 'FOO' at <input>:1:1
     source: FOO
             ^
1 parse error.
Pass 1: parsed user script and 91 library script(s) using 
92232virt/25348res/2608shr/23300data kb, in 100usr/20sys/120real ms.
Pass 1: parse failed.  [man error::pass1]
Tip: /usr/share/doc/systemtap/README.Debian should help you get started.

Do you think this is prominent enough for users to notice?
