Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-1
Severity: minor

The ps(1) man page says:

STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS
[...]
       CODE      HEADER DESCRIPTION
[...]
       size      SZ     approximate amount of swap space that would be required 
if
                        the process were to dirty all writable pages and then be
                        swapped out. This number is very rough!
[...]
       sz        SZ     size in physical pages of the core image of the process.
                        This includes text, data, and stack space. Device 
mappings
                        are currently excluded; this is subject to change. See 
vsz
                        and rss.

but size and sz are not aliases and are different:

vin:~> ps -o rss,size,sz,vsz,cmd
  RSS    SZ    SZ    VSZ CMD
 4404  2600 31039 124156 zsh
  840   608 23286  93144 ps -o rss,size,sz,vsz,cmd

thus they should have a different header.
