FFe: Sync pypy 1.8+dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

[Stefano Rivera]

Please sync pypy 1.8+dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

I warned you this was coming :)

PyPy is a leaf package, disconnected from the rest of our Python stack.
1.8 came out a couple of days before FF. At FF it was still in Debian's binNEW
queue.

Upstream, 1.8 is mostly iterative improvement.
http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/release-1.8.0.html

The Debian 1.8 package adds a sandbox build, increasing the already long build
time, but I think it's a nice feature to provide.

There are still a fair number of build failures in Debian, but they are all
timeouts, that I'm trying to get to the bottom of (package builds on
porterboxes, without delays between lines of output that should trigger
timeouts). It'll probably build on LP's buildds [i386 amd64 powerpc], maybe
with a couple of retries if we get timeouts. It builds for me in an ubuntu
chroot.

The packaging currently refuses to build on machines with less than 1.4G of
RAM, so it won't build on ARM, although it probably could if we let it build
for a week or two. None of this is any different from the state of 1.7.

Changelog entries since current precise version 1.7+dfsg-6:

pypy (1.8+dfsg-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Build the sandboxed PyPy with -O2, not -O3 or -Ojit. Sandboxed pypy can't
    be built with profile-guided optimisations.
    - Use generational gc, now that we aren't using the JIT.
  * Patch gnukfreebsd-link-rt: Link with -lrt on GNU/kFreeBSD.
