pidof used to be part of psmisc back in 1997, about 6 months before I
took over maintaining procps for Debian, so I think that is ancient
history.
procps has more maintainers and focus and pidof is almost pgrep in
disguise, so I think we should put it there; after the next release.
I'll have have a chat with my counterpart looking after the source
package in Debian too about arranging a suitable handover.
