I know this isn't high priority, but it's really just a one-line change.
I don't know how but I've tracked down the "where", at least:
I think in pgrep.c
797: if (strcmp (program_invocation_short_name, "pwait") == 0) {
must be updated to also check for pidwait, that should do it.
Workaround:
Run (once):
$ ln -s ../../bin/pidwait /usr/local/bin/pwait
Then use `pwait` instead of `pidwait`.

Title:
pidwait doesn't work. Instead behaves like pgrep
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
pidwait doesn't work at all.
Seems like pidwait was renamed in an Ubuntu patch from upstream pwait
- however the executable that is built acts as "pgrep" unless it's
called as "pwait"; this check also needs to be updated with the
executable name "pidwait".
