expand -r
there is a peculiar bug somewhere that causes -r to not actually behave the way the manpage says. it's documented as
-r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
Do not stop service on upgrade.
but in reality somehow this ends up as restart-on-upgrade=1 still. expanding the -r seems to produce the correct result.
we really need to upgrade our debhelper
