There could be ARM specific bugs. The Systemtap testsuite
(packaged as systemtap-testsuite) for example contains some
explicit checks to see whether or not you can properly observe
prelinked executables. So having the prelink package available
on ARM would at least help us all test and make sure prelink
works as intended. So please do include the package, if only
so people can do some measurements to check whether the startup
speedup is "just" 10% or even up to 50% on their machines.

Cheers,
