Package: libgoogle-perftools0 Version: 1.4-1 Severity: serious libgoogle-perftools0 contains the command line profiling utility, /usr/bin/google-pprof:
$ dpkg-deb -c libgoogle-perftools0_1.4-1_amd64.deb | grep usr/bin/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-09-18 11:25 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 128341 2009-09-18 11:25 ./usr/bin/google-pprof

per debian policy 8.2, this is not allowed:
8.2 Shared library support files
If your package contains files whose names do not change with each
change in the library shared object version, you must not put them
in the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the
shared library cannot be installed at the same time without filename
clashes, making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily difficult.
