Package: kfreebsd-10 Severity: normal I'm opening a bug to keep track of this.

We can't make this a static decision because it depends on the runtime. If the runtime are Linux binaries (as is usually the case when using linprocfs with FreeBSD), linprocfs should print Linux names. If the runtime are GNU/kFreeBSD (or FreeBSD) binaries, linprocfs should print BSD names. What you propose would break chroots setups where people run GNU/kFreeBSD in a chroot on FreeBSD, or vice-versa. Fortunately, the runtime can be detected, since Linux binaries run in a special compatibility mode. This should be worked with upstream. In general you should be careful before changing kernel ABI. Diverging from upstream kernel ABI has many detrimental consequences. Btw, we have the same problem with /proc/mounts (see debian/patches/908_linprocfs_is_not_proc.diff). -- Robert Millan
