In that all the following tools (and possibly files) which are
returned by `rpm ql procps` replace the util-linux counterparts, if
any. Note that rpm -ql might return less programs than actually
present in procps, since distributors need to choose which program to
pick from what {util-linux or procps}.

21:07 ichi:~ > rpm -ql procps
/bin/ps
/etc/init.d/boot.sysctl
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/xinetd.d/systat
/sbin/sysctl
/usr/bin/free
/usr/bin/pgrep
/usr/bin/pkill
/usr/bin/pmap
/usr/bin/pwdx
/usr/bin/skill
/usr/bin/slabtop
/usr/bin/snice
/usr/bin/tload
/usr/bin/top
/usr/bin/vmstat
/usr/bin/w
/usr/bin/watch
+ the stuff in /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man

with the idea that you retain maintership over these. So my proposal/idea was
just one of how to package it.
