Hi Ritesh, I agree with you, there is no reason we can't coexist :)
However, perf-tools-unstable doesn't seem to be much more updated these days, and it sorta worries me, especially since Brendan Gregg mentions on his blog that bcc seems to be the future: in that light, do you still see a need for perf-tools-unstable at all ? If you do, would you be willing to take over its maintainership ? I'm trying to save more time to contribute to security work in Debian, so you'd be welcome to do that :) Anyway, let me know what you think and we'll take it from there.
