[Rationale]
- The package libtracefs is a runtime dependency of trace-cmd (MIR bug: LP: #2051850)
- The package libtracefs is required in Ubuntu main no later than Feb 29 2024 (Feature Freeze) due to the will to have performance/tracing tools in Noble (LTS).

[Security]
- Nothing was found in the CVE database https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libtracefs
- Also nothing was found in the OSS security mailing list archive.
- No CVE in the Ubuntu security tracker https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=libtracefs

- Ubuntu [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtracefs/+bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtracefs/+bug)
- Debian [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libtracefs](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libtracefs)
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build fail, link to build log:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/709710895/buildlog_ubuntu-noble-amd64.libtracefs_1.8.0-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- The package runs an autopkgtest, but it is a "superficial" one. It is currently passing on amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x:
