Hi Mathieu,

I can understand removing callgrind.h and valgrind.h at *build* time for 
the reasons you mentioned.  However, in my understanding of Debian, 
repacking the original source is a last resort, primarily used for DFSG 
issues.  Thus my question.

Also, I think your openslide_soname.patch is now redundant?

AFAIK there isn't any right now, though they all do fairly 
straightforward things.  quickhash-1 is defined here:
