Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:5.5p1-3
Severity: normal

When I update and upgarade my Debian-packages with apt-get, I run it
in nice value 19. Unfortunately it has this side effect:

# ps xfo pid,tty,nice,stat,time,command 
   PID TT        NI STAT     TIME COMMAND
(Clip)
 13721 ?         19 SNs  00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd


Maybe this bugreport really belongs to that system-utility, that actually
stops and restarts servers during upgrade.

I'm not sure what we should do about this.  invoke-rc.d doesn't seem to
sanitise the environment at all, so I imagine nearly all packages have
exactly the same bug.

Moving to Upstart would fix this, since with Upstart we can instruct the
init daemon to start the job rather than having to run the init script
as a descendant of the postinst.  I wonder if it's really worth going
around trying to sanitise the environment all over the place when we
should be able to switch to Upstart in the not too distant future
anyway?
This shouldn't be a problem any more now that the restart instruction goes via systemd on most systems. 

Thanks,
