I think you are implying a finer detail that is lost on me.

valgrind was recommending a package that is not available in main. 
I'm not sure what the status would be, if valgrind had recommended 
valgrind-dbgsym instead. That would also be not installable on a 
system configured with the default APT sources setup.

The second bug seems to describe the exactly same problem.
