This is not a bug.  Package maintainers are free to do whatever they
want in their Makefiles (frequently they don't have any control over
them).

The patch is probably undesirable.  It will mean that every time the
procps upstream package Makefile changes we'll have a rejected patch
for the Debianisation.

I'm not closing this report because the package maintainer may want to
take some of your comments on board, or forward them to the upstream
maintainer.
