Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.3.1


Debian Policy Manual says:

9.3.1
"Also, if the script name ends in .sh, the script will be sourced in runlevel
S rather than being run in a forked subprocess, but will be explicitly run
by sh in all other runlevels."

/etc/rcS.d/S30procps.sh is not being executed properly by /etc/init.d/rcS 
because of
this (or /etc/init.d/rc for that matter).

/etc/sysctl.conf settings, which may contain important parameters, are not
set properly during boottime because of this.

Spotted by: Marco Davids (SIDN) with help from #elders team, in particular
'koopal'.
