Bug Description

please sync package cppcheck from debian Unstable

Cppcheck is a programming tool for statically checking C programs and C++ programs for security vulnerabilities and coding mistakes. Most common errors it finds are memory leaks within a function range.

It has found 18 confirmed and fixed bugs in the Linux kernel And many more from other open source projects.

It can do check for example:
    * Bad usage of memset/memcpy/memmove
    * Memory leaks
    * Buffer overruns
    * Check class constructors (uninitialized member variables?)
    * Using old functions that should be avoided such as 'gets' and 'scanf'
    * Invalid function usage. A few extra checks when using standard functions.
    * Division with signed and unsigned operands

In #ubuntu-motu I was told: "You don't need a bug report. The package should make its way into Ubuntu within the week".

Reason this bug is here was:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
"For packages in Debian, but not in Ubuntu file a bug with the summary field "please sync package <packagename> from debian <distro>" where packagename is the package you would like to see."

The text in wiki is now changed to prevent others from submitting bugs like this.
