Yes, it requires a huge amount of work to create the libc wrapper the is
required for standard universe. The condor project only does that _after_ a
new Debian stable release was made. Hnce it is impossible to get this work
to become part of a Debian release.

I'd be curious what limitations you found (I bit the DMTCP developers would
like to know about that too). We prefer DMTCP over standard universe as we
need to snapshot Python and Matlab sessions -- which is hard or even
impossible to do with the standard universe.
