Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.17-5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: anihay1...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

procps offers two identical files:
$ ls -al pgrep pidwait 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39344 Oct  9 06:02 pgrep
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39344 Oct  9 06:02 pidwait

$ diff pgrep pidwait

Instead of wasting all this space one should be a symlink to the other.

I tested it on Debian 11, Debian 12 and Debian sid and they all have
this problem.
