s/reload in the postinst/restart in the postinst/ 1. 'reload' is not a mandatory option for /etc/init.d/* scripts. The only options that must be supported by all /etc/init.d/* scripts are 'start', 'stop', 'force-reload' and 'restart'. 2. 'reload', if supported, leaves the _old_ version of the daemon running.
