[ 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.
