All I wanted to do is stop the daemon before upgrade and start it again
afterwards. This same problem must be in gridengine-exec, because I have
added basically the same code in prerm/postinst there.

Many thanks for these pointers. Before implementing this bug, I actually
spent a good amount of time looking for guides about things to watch out
for when writing maintainer scripts in the Policy and Developer's
reference. I couldn't find anything, but I didn't consider looking at these.

Thanks and regards
Afif
