While this does give all the information, I'd like it to emphasise that
its not something
the developer missed, but the situation has changed. Also that they
didn't need to consider
where pidof came from previously because it was in an essential package.
Good point(s), thanks Craig.
New introductory paragraphs:
```
At least one of the binary packages built from ${SOURCE} appears to use
`pidof` at runtime. Historically, `pidof` was provided by the Essential
package `sysvinit-tools`, making an explicit dependency unnecessary.
However `pidof` will soon be moved to `procps` and will no longer be
part of the Essential set.
Please add an explicit dependency on `procps` to all binary packages of
${SOURCE} that use `pidof`.
```
