Right, we shouldn't fix it in Ubuntu only, but I see no reason to not
forward this request upstream and get it fixed there. After all, the
current handling of "pkill foo -9" is absolutely useless:

$ pkill foo -9
pkill: invalid option -- '9'

Since pkill just aborts with that, there is zero chance of breaking
existing scripts.
