There are a few problems:
* liburcu should ship its pc files, to make any future adjustments in library dependencies easier for reverse dependencies (bug 997378)
* Should be running the tests. Right now they are explicitly disabled. I'm not sure why, because they seemed to run fine for me (though did take a long time)
* Who is maintaining this package in Ubuntu? There should be a bug subscriber.

OK, approving even though we didn't actually fix those issues yet. Enabling the tests are on didrock's acceptance criteria list for u-s-c being enabled in 13.10. So either they get fixed in time or we won't use liburcu anyway. So that's fine.

The .pc file issue I'd still like to see fixed, but I don't see that being quite as critical as tests.

As mentioned in the Debian bug [1], the 'make check' in liburcu is more akin to a benchmark and memtest-like conformance test, rather than actual unit tests. It can take many hours to run on a typical desktop, and even longer on build VMs, which is why they were disabled in the Debian package.

I opened [2] with upstream to have them move those out of the 'make check'.
