Yes it will break then. The patch applied to unstable is more a
workaround as a real final(!) solution[1].

Recently Jonathan Swartz of Proc-ProcessTable perl module[2], see
changelog entry for 0.46 there and development began somehow again
slowly[3], so the only thing I can say is that hopefully
libproc-processtable-perl will get more updates during the jesse
development cycle.

But I cannot aswer how the changes of machines with > 100 logical CPUs
will be for the time of wheezy release.
