Bug#270233: apt: [apt-get] --purge remove does not kill running processes (lwresd)

[Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@poboxes.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: normal


If lwresd is removed in favor of bind, the running lwresd processes
are not cleaned. They are left in the process table. 

This is non-intuitive. The "purge" means removing package; it 
implies removing running processes too.
