I've been thinking about this: using libkvm in start-stop-daemon will ultimately make dpkg depend on specific kernel versions. (struct proc changed at least once that I'm aware of within FreeBSD 4.x. I'm fairly sure it's been changed in -CURRENT, as well.) That could be a real problem.
ummmmm what does start-stop-daemon need libkvm for? oh, does it use sysctl's to get the process list or something? at least in netbsd this will never fail due to kernel revs, we made these sysctls forward & backwards compatible from about 2 years ago. (i can even run a 32-bit ps(1) on a 64 bit system under 32-bit emulation.) .mrg.
