Package: transmission-daemon
Version: 2.94-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

the bundled service file for transmission-daemon includes the following
directive:

        ExecStop=/bin/kill -s STOP $MAINPID

As I understand it, SIGSTOP only halts a process which can later be
resumed using SIGCONT, which means stopping a transmission-daemon
instance only leaves a stopped process for systemd to kill after the
configured ExecStop command has completed. Since the directive doesn't
really do what it was probably intended to do -- and since systemd's
default stopping behavior seems to agree with transmission-daemon just
fine -- I would suggest dropping the ExecStop directive.

Regards,
