tags 781257 +patch thanks It turns out that the original motivation why the killall was added is gone. These days the install scripts no more call deluser (only snmpd.postrm).
So we can just remove the killall introduced by Ubuntu LP: #573391 to fix LP: #1245604 and Debian Bug #781257 FYI - I'm uploading a comparable fix to the Ubuntu LP to fix it as well until we merge again.
