Dear Debian util-linux maintainer,

I noticed that you explicitly tried to remove the setpgid(1) binary
in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/util-linux/-/commit/a3eb9caf97864a0ee93097160e57cfa36cff07ad ,
which I do not understand. I wanted to use it today and noticed that Debian decided not to
provide it.

Is there any reason behind such decision? The Salsa git commit showed no information. If
this utility is too trivial to provide, I thought we could provide it under util-linux-extra
package instead.

Best Regards,
Boyuan Yang

Control: severity -1 wishlist
Control: retitle -1 util-linux: Please provide setpgid binary

We merely never started shipping the program. It was not removed.
into which binary package it should go. Generally I want to avoid
putting new programs into binary packages that are Essential: yes.

Fedora seems to put it into "util-linux", which is kinda their
equivalent of our "util-linux-extra".

Upstream doc: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/master/sys-utils/setpgid.1.adoc

Maybe you can write down your usecase, so this can be better
understood. "Who wants to run this, when, and to achieve what?"
