I don't think we should install this alias yet:
- We need a wrapper for it anyway, so there's little point adding a
versioned link
- It doesn't work out-of-the-box as non-root (it depends on debugfs),
so it's less widely useful than strace
- 'perf trace' doesn't take much more typing

Somehow this new wrapper manages to reduce the priority of our
'prefix' setting. That interacts with the insane way prefix is
defaulted in config/Makefile so that the prefix is wrong at build time
but right at install time (resulting in a rebuild then!).
Also the wrapper replaces our -j option and we would have to set JOBS
instead.
The perf makefiles never get better, just different...

The transition from libunwind soversion 7 to 8 is blocked and will
likely remain blocked for some time because libunwind7 is linked into
all ia64 binaries.
For amd64 and i386, downgrade the build-dependency to libunwind7-dev.
For architectures that are supported by libunwind8-dev, remove the
build-dependency and ensure we don't accidentally link with libunwind8
by setting NO_LIBUNWIND=1 when building perf.

This requires including another source file in the 'orig' tarball, so
bump to the latest stable update. I don't think it has any fixes
relevant to linux-tools.
