Fellow developers,
thanks to the multi-year preparatory efforts of several Debian
developers, we are now at a stage in which pidof is no longer used in
maintscripts and can therefore be easily moved to the `procps` package
and treated like any other non-Essential program.
The aim of this MBF is to add procps to the dependencies of 94 package
that make use of `pidof` at runtime. (The use of pidof in initscritpts,
build-time tests, and autopkgstests will be addressed separately. See
#810018 for more information.)
The proposed wordings of the MBF can be found below. The corresponding
dd-list is attached. The list of affected packages was created by
refining the ~6000 results from codesearch.d.n for "pidof" using a
mixture of classification scripts and manual review. There are probably
a few false positives.
Regards,

Subject: ${SOURCE} uses pidof but does not depend on procps
Source: ${SOURCE}
Version: ${VERSION}
Usertags: pidof-without-procps
Dear maintainer(s) of ${SOURCE},
at least one of the binary packages built from ${SOURCE} appears to use
`pidof` at runtime. `pidof` will soon be provided by `procps` and will
no longer be part of the Essential set.
Please add an explicit dependency on `procps` to all binary packages of
${SOURCE} that may require it.
To prevent any disruption for users of ${SOURCE}, please add this
dependency now, before `pidof` is moved from `sysvinit-utils` to
`procps`. Alternatively, you could remove all runtime uses of `pidof`.
It is believed that ${SOURCE} uses `pidof` due to the following code
snippet(s):
```
${SNIPPET}
```
Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example
if this code is in an unreachable code path).
