Well, yes and no.
The pidof.sh script is a wrapper to identify the pid of a process in a
platform-agnostic way. Using pidof(1) is just one of the several methods
tried, so a missing pidof should not affect the test suite execution
result (famous last words).

Currently, Build-Depends: procps already exists, but there is no such
dependency in debian/tests/control. Such a difference looks bad, and
while it didn't hurt in the past but might create situations hard to
track down. Will adjust accordingly, thanks for making me aware of that.
Two more things:

Unless I've missed some changes, that's not the correct path to declare
dependencies for autopkgtest.
And second, while you announced a MBF in debian-devel, the ngircd
package was not in the list. Again, did I miss something?
