/usr/lib/valgrind/*.supp (double p) is where it automatically looks.
Debian's Valgrind packaging already ships a few suppressions, mostly for
glibc.

For optimum parallel-installability of versions it may be best to use a
name corresponding to the SONAME of the library (e.g. libglib-2.0.so.0.supp,
libgtk-3.so.0.supp).

glib-2.0.supp, gtk-3.supp would also work if GLib, Gtk will (by policy)
never break ABI and become *.so.1.

I'll be on a train for a while today, so I'll see if I can distil something
generally-useful out of the suppressions in telepathy-glib and
gstreamer/common.
