Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-1
Severity: serious
/etc/init.d/procps is using "which" (located at /usr/bin/which) at a
time where /usr is not mounted.
This causes the init-script to fail and leaves /etc/sysctl.conf
unprocessed.
The severity is justified by the fact that /etc/sysctl.conf is the
preferred way to set networking parameters (like forwarding etc.) in Etch,
which breaks if one is using this version of procps.

Yes, correct. This bug is totally bogus (and totally my fault for not
researching correctly), because this only exists if using a backported
package to Sarge (where which is only in /usr/bin).
I am very sorry for the noise I made, I will take my business with this
problem back to the backports.org mailinglist.
Grüße,
Sven.
