While the upstream procps which was released last week has a new pidof, the Debian package will continue to not have that binary and the
Debian sysvint-utils package will continue to have that file. That stops any messy procps splits and putting one part into Essential etc.
This may mean that one distributions pidof doesn’t quite work like anothers, but that has been like that already; which is why when I discussed the change as upstream I wondered where they found some of those flags I don’t have.
