I don't think so:

| callisto$ dpkg -s electric-fence
| Package: electric-fence
| Status: install ok installed
| Priority: standard
| Section: devel
| Installed-Size: 48
| Maintainer: Debian QA Group <debian-qa at lists.debian.org>
| Version: 2.1-1
| Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Description: A malloc(3) debugger
|  Use virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory accesses.

Greetings,
