I don't think so. util-linux is very old and there were also some security
problems. Also according to DistroWatch util-linux is in version 2.13.1 what
in
reality is util-linux-ng.

Of course I noticed this and mentioned it in my commit:
http://scmweb.sourcemage.org/gitweb.cgi?p=smgl/grimoire.git;a=commit;h=2f3c4faab05126323515eb880ad2d63cfcff1849

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?).

So we just have to fix procps.
