Restart behaviour on upgrades can't be unified with system start-up
behaviour: I have several zope instances which I can't restart untill
the week-end or holidays, and in this way I can upgrade the machine at
any day, and then plan the restart. Even if an instance is started at
boot-time, this doesn't mean it is useful for me if apt tries to restart
it on upgrade. Also, think about the product upgrades: Plone 2.0.2 ->
2.0.3 requires migration, and this is something which I would prefer to
do in a second moment for **a particular** instance.

So, about the bug: what about restarting instances only if it is already
running? In my opinion this is the best solution. Anyway, I'll add some
documentation about the restart-policy (even if my english is terrible).
Especially for this last point, any help is welcome.

Have a nice day,
