JFTR, doing a simple reload on upgrade is _always_ wrong. After an upgrade the new executables must be running, not the old ones. For example, the old executables might still contain security issues. And the current debhelper behaviour is the safer way and should be the default. A daemon crashing because some of its data files no longer fit to the running process can cause much more severe data loss than just some down time. And a maintainer would have to check on every upload if and for which old versions it is safe not to stop the daemon before replacing the files. This would doubtless lead to many other bugs.
