If my supposition is correct, then this is a grave bug, and after
it's fixed in unstable, it should be also fixed in stable and
oldstable.
I've filed it as #749816.

Nothing about stable/oldstable updates requires DM rights, you can do
that through your normal sponsors.
Hear, hear. Just to be clear: I am absolutely not giving anyone DM
permissions after a single upload. :-)
Anyway, let's get back to work:
Possible typos in the code and in the documentation:
ntrys -> ntries
NTRYS -> NTRIES
Typo in the changelog:
canonincal -> canonical
+Description: tool to test kernel stability
I think s/to test/for testing/ sounds better.
- them. Used to test kernel stability.
+ them. It is used to test kernel's stability.
I don't think this use of 's is correct.
As a data point, according to Google, “kernel stability” is 40 times
more popular than “kernel's stability”.
But I'm not a native speaker of English, so I might be saying nonsense
here. If you want professional advice about your description, please
ask at debian-l10n-english@ldo.
* Added patch fixing memset transposed arguments
Good catch. Please don't forget to forward the patch upstream.
The following changes are not documented:
- Upstream-Contact update in d/copyright;
- d/crashme.install addition;
- dropping d/crashme.lintian-overrides;
- debian/watch update;
- most of changes to d/rules;
- package description updates;
- README.debian update.
It should be s/debian/Debian/, BTW. (Although it's not a big deal, as
debhelper conveniently renames the file for you, so you correct correct
name in the binary package.)
I didn't get answer to my question about mprotect(2):
Shouldn't we run this code also on non-Linux architectures? At least on
kfreebsd-amd64, heap is not executable by default, which is what this
code is trying to work around.
