Why is this patch needed? Does the documentation build requires
additional dependencies?

Can you comment on why specifically procps_ng is needed?

Amongst those dependencies, it would be great to denote which ones are
actual build dependencies, and which ones are only runtime dependencies.

Google Code is closing. Is there a better location for this project? Or
is the project planning to move to some other place in the near future ?

Just: GPLv2

+= should be '='.

Since the package uses Python distutils, could you instead try:

TOVID_SETUP_TYPE = distutils

$(eval $(python-package))

and get rid of your custom TOVID_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS ?
