If a package only shuts down cleanly because the rest of the shutdown
process is slow, it is already buggy. Especially on systems where the
shutdown is much faster, either due to their being fewer shutdown
scripts than usual or the cpu being a lot faster than usual, or due to
its shutdown script being reordered to run later than usual.

It's fairly common to add a sleep in restart to (try to) deal with
issues such as reopening a socket.
