The real problem is that the freebsd-utils program doesn't do the same
thing for a binary of the same name. Something changed with that other
package and now we've got this problem as a result.

Packages shouldn't drive other packages scripts, I'm not going to change
procps init.d but somehow work out how to just have it removed from
kFreeBSD.
