From the docs: "Note that older Debian based distributions, including
the Debian stable (Squeeze (6.0)) ship with libunwind7-dev instead of
libunwind8-dev.".  Strangely enough, Debian has no plain libunwind
package, so you
have to find the available version yourself using

    apt-cache search libunwind

You don't need it.  The only advantage is that if the system crashes, it
prints a somewhat
readable backtrace of the C-stack.  That sometimes gives developers a
clue on what went wrong.
