** Description changed:

  The init script for the watchdog service does not seem to remove the pid
  file corresponding to the watchdog and wd_keepalive daemons while
- stopping them using start-stop-daemon
+ stopping them using start-stop-daemon. This causes us to potentially
+ send SIGTERM and SIGKILL to wrong processes.
  
  This behaviour was observed on Ubuntu 14.04 and this logic appears to be
  present even on the latest versions of the watchdog package
  (watchdog_5.15-2).
  
  Not deleting the pid file appears to be incorrect behaviour in init
  scripts. Is this a known issue?
