actually this is linux ps in general, not just debian. it's a result of
ps becoming unix98 compatible. unix98 (i.e. sysv) options are preceded by
a -... and if you want to use BSD-style options you put no leading dash.
or you can setenv I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS to get the BSD-only behaviour :)
dbmmanage must also be broken on solaris if you've got sysv ps in your
path first.

this is true for pretty much all linux systems as well, not just debian.
