Bug Description
A follow-up to LP: #1895971, now backporting cvise 2.3. Not planning any further backports.
cvise is a test case reduction tool used to reduce test cases for compiler issues. It's not yet available in the LTS release. Having it available in the same release as the compilers that you are debugging/using makes the test case reduction easier. Also needed is the dependency python-pebble.
Regression potential: Maybe, but the testsuite of the package should be good enough to provide the confidence to update. It's a tool for debugging compilers, and reducing test case, so the affected target audience should be minimal.
Validation: the test suite succeeds during the build + performing manual exploratory smoketesting using the version of the package in -proposed.

This is incorrect, because it is no longer a new package; it exists in -updates. So we need a test case and an analysis of the risk of regression vs the previous SRU.
