It looks like the latest Debian is using GCC 4.8.3? `nullptr` has been 
available in GCC since 4.6, according to this site, and complete support 
for C++11 is available in 4.8:

https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11

However, it is not the default compile mode until GCC 6.1, so it would 
have to be enabled with the `-std=c++11` command-line option.

Many projects, Qt for example, replaced all pointer 0's with `nullptr` 
sometime between 5.12 and 5.15, so perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad 
thing just to leave `nullptr` in there? If there ever is another major 
release, I think this should be used instead of `0` (or `NULL`?? -- I'm 
not sure what the current state is without diving into the source code).
