Thanks for the info.
Root cause turns out to be that extra space in the shebang. Upstream
sources don't have it and the packaging doesn't intentionally add it
either. I suspect this is a side effect of a recent change in dh_python2
("rewrite shebangs by default" at [3]).This causes detection of running instances in the init script to fail, meaning it will start but stop/restart/status will no longer work. On upgrade, the service thus fails to start because the old (undetected) instance is in the way.
