Please copy and paste from a shell and show exactly how you reproduce
the issue.

Yes, that's mandated by the LSB,

Eh?

$ grep killproc /lib/lsb/init-functions
killproc () {
$ dpkg --search /lib/lsb/init-functions
lsb-base: /lib/lsb/init-functions
$ apt-cache policy lsb-base
lsb-base:
  Installed: 3.2-3
  Candidate: 3.2-3
  Version table:
 *** 3.2-3 0
        500 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.1-24 0
        -10 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de lenny/main Packages
     3.1-23.2etch1 0
        -10 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de etch/main Packages
$

Explain why killproc is no longer available in sid.

Greetings
Marc
