I just found another bug; on upgrades, autofs attempts to restart itself,
which invokes "debian stop"; this invokes something like

  start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry USR2/$DAEMON_EXIT_WAIT --pidfile $file --exec /usr/sbin/automount

The problem here is that the pid does not really run /usr/sbin/automount
anymore; or more correctly, /proc/<pid>/exe does not point to the current
/usr/sbin/automount, it points to the _old_ /usr/sbin/automount, and that
version was just removed as part of the upgrade.  Thus, the stop fails, and the
entire upgrade fails.

Any good ideas? Stripping the --exec would be the easiest solution, but
perhaps also the ugliest...
