Consider this case:

a) start automount

b) cd /auto # automount can't unmount it

c) stop automount

  upstart will send SIGTERM to automount.
  automount replies by writing the debugging info
  "Got your signal, but won't quit because I can't umount /auto"

  upstart will then send SIGKILL after some time ..
  (Or I will)..

  However when this happens nobody umounts /auto and the submounts.

Fix: umount -l /auto could be run when SIGTERM is received.
This will ask the kernel to umount those remaining filesystems as soon
as possible. Does this make sense?
