> "perf" development in Linux kernel tree makes it hard to package it and use it outside of kernel profiling.

It seems the way it is handled in ubuntu at least is to package up perf as a script that just tells you to get yet another kernel-specific package that contains the actual binary. Given that, I find it amusing that perf is held as the gold standard for this kind of thing.
