Hi Klaus, and thanks for your bugreport,

As I can't verify your assertion here, using Wheezy's exim's initscript, and 
as:

$ grep pidofproc /etc/init.d/exim4 
  if pidofproc -p "$QRPIDFILE" >/dev/null; then
  if pidofproc -p "$PIDFILE" >/dev/null; then

Could you please detail your "will break init scripts of unrelated software" ? 
(tagging as +moreinfo)

As discussed in #691422, pidofproc was never meant to be used with a different 
arguments order, so I think it's not an lsb-base responsibility if other init 
scripts wrongly using it now fail when it enforces a correct behaviour. For 
now, I'm downgrading this to serious.

Cheers,

OdyX
