Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.9-9
Severity: normal

In procps/wheezy, the combination of the '-l' and '-f' flags had a specific
output, which IIRC was the same across *BSD, Solaris, and many versions of
GNU/Linux:

$ pgrep -lf iceweasel
6543 iceweasel --no-remote

In jessie, the behaviour has changed, and the '-a' flag was added to restore
the previous output format:

$ pgrep -lf iceweasel
6543 iceweasel

Wouldn't it be more convenient to _add_ an option to change the behaviour
according to #526355, instead of changing the result of pre-existing
options?
