Bug Description

Hi,
 it would be very good to have the tool 'smem' into ubuntu repositories.

Its aim is to shed some light into process memory consumption, in a way that no other program is able to do.

Its author is Matt Makart, a known linux kernel hacker. See here for the details of this great tool:

The tool itself is here:

Thanks a lot!

There is already an "smem" command in Ubuntu, in the secure-delete package,
which originates from thc.org.

The conflict will have to be resolved somehow before this can be added to Ubuntu.

Thanks,

James
