Here we go again, with my changes after Ben Finney's recommendations,
and a Standards Version bump to the just-released Policy 3.8.2 :)

* Package name    : pslist
  Version         : 1.3-1
  Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> (myself)
* URL             : http://devel.ringlet.net/sysutils/pslist/
* License         : BSD-2
  Section         : misc
  Programming Lang: Perl

It builds these binary packages:
pslist     - utility that controls a process and its descendants

 pslist is a simple utility to list the process IDs (PIDs) of a process and
 all its children, and its children's children, and so on.  If invoked with
 a command name which ends in 'kill', it sends a signal to a selected group
 of processes.  If invoked with a command name which ends in 'renice',
 it sets the nice level of the selected group of processes.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:

Thanks in advance!
