Dear Maintainer,

'pgrep -lf' no longer prints the full command line of matching
processes. This is a regression since wheezy, and caused by the fix for
#526355 (upstream commit f12277c74d591245767d77badb6bb6af91335656)

Example: given a process with the command line:

    /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 103:107

The expected behavior, and behavior in wheezy as well as Solaris and its
derivatives is:

   % pgrep -lf ntpd.pid
   6272 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 115:122

but in jessie:

   % pgrep -lf ntpd.pid
   1687 ntpd

Incidentally, the manual page for pgrep includes the following:

    STANDARDS
           pkill and pgrep were introduced in Sun's Solaris 7.  This
           implementation is fully compatible.
