By the way the profiling data is plain text and can be stored inside the debian/ folder when making an Ubuntu package. I imagine something similar can be done for other package systems as well. An alternative approach is to generate the profiling data at package build time using a sort of "make profiledbuild" and giving it a script such as yagmark. This is more or less what Mozilla does, except it was broken on Linux until recently and still isn't included in the Ubuntu packages... Thanks, Scott Ritchie
