I'll be reviewing the change with my colleague Kellen. In the meanwhile ... What is the concern/impact behind not having the version available in ps ? (Outside it should output/report it) ?
The version can be found in the package version (dpkg -l procps) Is it for integrity purposes in order to make sure the ps binary in place really comes from that given procps package ? If it is the case, making --version works won't help much as an integrity check. There are other approaches that can be used to achieve this goal such as 'dpkg '-- verify' and '--audit' To summarize, I'm trying to find the rationale behind it to clearly document the bug when we'll reach the SRU approval/justification.
