I've changed the prerm so that it stops boinc_client 
(through /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop) before the [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
application is 
removed. This seems to prevent boinc_client from downloading new work units 
but it does not make boinc_client to download the official [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
application. Instead it tries to download setiathome_enhanced which is the 
filename that is used by boinc-app-seti for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] application 
(the official 
application filename is something like setiathome_enhanced_512).

I agree and I'll try to find out how this can be accomplished.
