<putting FESCo hat on>

I read this as simply a feature saying we're switching from procps upstream
X to procps upstream Y. To be honest, I'm not sure it's even worthy of a
Feature.

The -ng naming is unfortunate, but so are many other things. In fact, we're
shipping a version from this upstream already, just not the new
all-distro-patches-merged version.

So, it's essentially a no-op.
