since the problem is still open nearly four weeks after opening this bug and since this blocks development on my package mmdebstrap due to its failing autopkgtest I propose to NMU procps with the changes found in this MR: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/procps/-/merge_requests/14 Do you disagree with this?
