Yeah, let's not make this task impossibly huge and lengthy, please. Using the same implementation as every other distro has immediate benefits for everybody, packagers and users. Rearranging the packaging details and priorities and whatnot is pretty much an internal-only detail - which doesn't mean it's not good or useful or worth doing, just that I don't think it's worth blocking the first part for it, as it can happen just as well later. The procps-base proposal looks good to me.
