Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.6.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After the valgrind upgrade, I get the following error:

$ valgrind true
valgrind: Bad option: -suppressions=/usr/lib/valgrind/debian-libc6-dbg.supp
valgrind: Use --help for more information or consult the user manual.

making valgrind unusable.

The problem is in the wrapper script: valgrind doesn't support
VALGRIND_OPTS beginning with a space:

$ VALGRIND_OPTS=" --suppressions=/usr/lib/valgrind/debian-libc6-dbg.supp" 
valgrind.bin true
valgrind: Bad option: -suppressions=/usr/lib/valgrind/debian-libc6-dbg.supp
valgrind: Use --help for more information or consult the user manual.

The wrapper script could be fixed, but I think that valgrind should
strip spaces from VALGRIND_OPTS.
