It must also use retry or some other way to make sure the daemon indeed
stopped, and we should add a comment that you cannot use --exec if:
 1. the daemon isn't an ELF executable (i.e. no #! stuff can use --exec)
 2. the daemon could be running when its executable was replaced by a
    package upgrade.

Or remove that error-inducing example completely and tell people to read
/etc/init.d/skeleton (which is easier to fix than policy :-) ).
