Title:
  10-link-restrictions.conf missing - removed by postinst

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The file "10-link-restrictions.conf" is listed in DEBIAN/conffiles in
  the binary deb package, and the file is present/installed, but it is
  removed by the "postinst" script resulting in "debsums" flagging it as
  a missing config file:
