Another option would be instead of stopping the client on "prerm upgrade" and starting it on "postinst configure" to only restart the client on upgrades on "postinst configure <new_version>" (D-BUS does this for example). It should then be possible to restart the client only if it was running before. Cheers, -- Frank S.
