My working theory is this is caused by this command > issued by the postinst script for avahi-daemon: > > invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || trueI think this caused lifeguard reset because D-Bus clients did not cope with restarting of the D-Bus daemon. You could workaround this by disabling the lifeguard reset temporarily ("flasher --enable-rd-mode -- set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset"), but anyway you need to reboot afterwards to get the D-Bus clients connected again. > What is the proper way to reload the DBUS configuration from a package? > Just using 'reload'? I'm not sure if D-Bus daemon currently supports reloading of the configuration on-the-fly. So, restarting (reboot) might be the only option.
The Debian 'sid' init script does this: dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig However the one on the N800 just stops and starts the daemon, waiting one second in between. Running the above command on the device seems to work so I'll just put that in the avahi-daemon.postinst script.

It's wise to disable the lifeguard reset before installing experimental stuff.
True, but at some point it would be nice if those who don't want to do such a thing could use these packages. I would consider a package that triggers a reset a buggy package, so I'm trying to fix it.
