procps has what you need. To get the versions 2.2.15 wants, you need to
upgrade your system to debian 2.2 (potato). potato is currently frozen and in
testing for release. So it should be safe for you to move up. Just realize
that you will likely have to update most packages on your system.
If you compile something like 2.2.13 I think it can be done on slink.
