Bug Description
Binary package hint: pfmon
Without the required kernel module, pfmon is useless. The package description claims that the kernel module is included by default in Debian kernels, but this does not appear to be true for Ubuntu kernels. Either enable perfmon in the default kernel build, or provide a package with the appropriate module so that pfmon can depend on it.
Current output:
$ pfmon uptime
host kernel does not have perfmon support
Desired output:
$ pfmon uptime
18:34:03 up 21 days, 1:02, 15 users, load average: 0.44, 0.57, 0.51

This package has been removed from the archive in Lucid, "(From Debian) RoQA; obsolete", and subsequently I am marking the bug report as Won't Fix.
