I think it would be useful to have a util-linux mention in the kernel's
./MAINTAINERS.  We're rather joined-at-the-hip and you guys are a bit
hard to find.  If agreeable, please send a patch.

Have you considered adding collectl to util-linux?  If so, what was the
outcome?

Thanks.

 The util-linux is a very basic system package and I'd like to avoid
 dependences on things like Perl.

 I don't see a problem to distribute collectl as a separate package.
 It seems that Mark is maintaining the package very successfully on
 sf.net.

 Does collectl require Perl for building?  If it has a run-time dependency
only, then it does not really differ from chkdupexe and it is up to
whoever makes a distribution to partition binary packages in a sensible
way.
