I'm not interested in a game of bug ping-pong. I just want to ensure we
can move forward with live-* unblocks so we can finally get things
released. All that matters is to get things to a releasable state.
Regardless of how this bug is marked, I am not satisfied with the state
it is in.

No, that's not the case. "clean" as in, I did exactly this:
# debootstrap wheezy wheezy
This installs procps. I checked by redoing my test from scratch.
What follows is a verbatim log of steps to produce from a clean
debootstrap wheezy (all I did here was tar up the debootstrap
immediately afterwards and unpack it again to ensure it is clean):
synrg@lear:~/projects$ sudo chroot wheezy

At this point, procps is *broken* as /usr/bin/uptime is gone. That's not
a "minor" issue. Anyone with live-tools installed on their build boxes
who upgrades to 3.0.12-1 will end up with no original procps
/usr/bin/uptime, and nothing will fix that except reinstalling procps.
This is not some strange corner case that will not happen in the "real
world". It's going to break a certain percentage of real world installs
that exist out there today.
