Yes, the new bsdutils (not yet on the mirrors) has removed /bin/kill,
so we've now got one in procps instead.  The dependencies weren't
managed as well as they should have been, but that's why we call the
potato release "unstable."  

Solutions:

  (1) put procps on hold until after bsdutils gets updated
 or 
  (2) install procps using dpkg --force-overwrite

HTH.
