I think I saw something like that, indeed, one of my probes into the
system showed that a "systemctl stop redis" or something very similar
was still running.

This seems quite odd to me -- I thought Redis, at least in its default
configuration (which is what I use), was an in-memory database. Why
would it get stuck over low disk space? And, if it does get stuck --
why wouldn't we just kill it? And how come the postinst script is
SIGINT-resistant?
