The aim of this MBF is to add procps to the dependencies of 94 package

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.

Could you please exclude all the udebs from this MBF? Those are false
positives, as in d-i pidof is provided by busybox-udeb and is guaranteed
to be available without needing a dependency.
Thanks,
