While I totally understand why we do this, I have to say it's VERY
VERY annoying behavior especially when one upgrading a remote system
with multiple server daemon ports.  One have to watch the whole
process carefully and restart the daemon manually.

As part of symmetry, I think a reasonable behavior should be at least,
if pkg_delete kills the daemon, pkg_add or make install should start
it, and the user can optionally disable this behavior.
