[Bug 462970] [NEW] Main Inclusion Request for intel-gpu-tools

[Bryce Harrington]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: intel-gpu-tools

This package includes tools that used to be provided in the debug
version of the -intel driver package, but have been broken out into
their own standalone package.  Several useful benchmarks/tests have been
added as well.  Since the output from these tools is necessary to debug
certain severe Intel graphics bugs such as X freezes, we would like to
enable apport to make use of these tools directly.  Historically we've
hand held the bug reporter through the steps of installing and running
the tools by hand, but this has widely been seen as a royal pain in the
rear for all parties (esp. since you have to find a second machine and
try to ssh into the frozen one in order to run the tools).  Having them
be automatically run by apport will significantly increase our ability
to troubleshoot these kind of severe problems swiftly with least hassle
to the user, but in order to do that we need intel-gpu-tools in main.
