Of course, there's always the problem that the service may be being
deleted entirely, or may radically change the way it manages start/stop
of its daemons, so you get left with a bunch of old daemons still
running and no foolproof way of identifying and stopping them.
It's all down to ports not having an 'update' target per se, and
conceptually turning that into 'deinstall, install' -- you can't tell
that any particular 'deinstall' invocation is intended to be closely
followed by a new install or not.
Cheers,
Matthew
