Ahem. I think is is a really bad idea. "-ng" packages point to a huge
failure in the handling of the packages in question, and should not be
deemed a feature for Linux but a failure of Linux
<putting FESCo hat on>
I read this as simply a feature saying we're switching from procps upstream
X to procps upstream Y. To be honest, I'm not sure it's even worthy of a
Feature.
The -ng naming is unfortunate, but so are many other things. In fact, we're
shipping a version from this upstream already, just not the new
all-distro-patches-merged version.
So, it's essentially a no-op.
