Of course I noticed it and mentioned it in my commit.
There were removed also /bin/arch, /usr/bin/write, ...
Of course I tested new utils-linux (several times rebooted my box).
Our init scripts contains only "kill" without path so builtin kill from 
bash is used.
I am sorry I forgot about users who use shells which don't provide 
builtin kill (which one?).
