[ unrelated maintainer who just found this behavior trying to test another package entirely ]
I don't believe the /proc/pid/exe symlink contents will change; the (deleted) convention is lsof's, AFAIK. Although the argument made in Bug#256790 is plausible, matching the exact executable doesn't seem particularly useful behavior, especially when dealing with --exec arguments that signify other packages entirely (e.g. script interpreters.) Calling readlink() on /proc/pid/exe and comparing the result against the --exec argument would be more useful in such cases.
