Package: fam
Version: 2.7.0-8
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

fam preinst include a call to start-stop-daemon:
    
    # forcibly stop all still running instances of famd because
    # some old versions of this package missed a stop in their prerm
    # on upgrade
    /sbin/start-stop-daemon --exec /usr/sbin/famd \
                            --stop --oknodo --quiet \
                            --retry 5

Now that sarge is released, I think you can sefely remove it.

I am not sure this is a bug, but packages are supposed to use
invoke-rc.d instead of start-stop-daemon in maintainer scripts
and this usage of start-stop-daemon cause piuparts to log a failure
when testing fam upgrade  (and hence gnome upgrade) so it would be
nice if this call were removed soon.

Thanks in advance,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
