valgrind for Debian
-------------------
Debian's valgrind package for the amd64 architecture is built to support i386
binaries as well (that is, valgrind:amd64 can instrument both amd64 and i386
executables). However, to make this work, the libc6-dbg:i386 package must be
installed as well.

Debian's valgrind package comes stripped of any debug symbols, which are
provided by the valgrind-dbg package. Note that it's recommended to install
such package because without those symbols valgrind may generate less
helpful error messages in certain situations, or not work at all.

Debian's valgrind package ships with a suppression file named "debian.supp"
along with upstream's "default.supp", under /usr/lib/valgrind. Note though
that by default, valgrind only loads "default.supp".
You may load "debian.supp" by passing
--suppressions=/usr/lib/valgrind/debian.supp
on the command-line (or appending it to ~/.valgrindrc).
