I had a go at this. I'm not a technical person, and can not vouch for the technical accuracy of this. Thanks for looking at this, and if I've done this incorrectly, I apologize for wasting people's time.
In a freshly installed virtualbox ubuntu natty, I verified that the procedure in comment #71 does in fact cause this problem, and that making changes to /etc/init.d/sendsigs from this patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/73183009/sysvinit_2.87dsf-4ubuntu24_2 .87dsf-4ubuntu25.diff.gz does fix the problem. (This patch is based on codewarrior's patch from comment #65.) I made a debdiff based on the natty package "sysvinit - 2.87dsf- 4ubuntu23" with the change to /etc/init.d/sendsigs incorporated, following this procedure ("Tutorial 1: Providing a Debdiff"): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/HandsOn I'll attach the debdiff. Again, if I've done this incorrectly, sorry for wasting people's time. I could likely make another attempt at this if there is a better way.
