Hmmm. After removing "invoke.rc.d condor restart --configure" from the
postinst script that had been used before, when testing an upgrade on a
single node I get the following:

1/12 17:12:09 /usr/sbin/condor_master was modified, restarting /usr/sbin/condor_master.
1/12 17:12:09 Sent SIGTERM to STARTD (pid 3632)
1/12 17:12:09 Sent SIGTERM to CKPT_SERVER (pid 3633)
1/12 17:12:09 DaemonCore: pid 3632 exited with status 0, invoking reaper 1 <Daemons::AllReaper()>
1/12 17:12:09 The STARTD (pid 3632) exited with status 0
1/12 17:12:09 DaemonCore: return from reaper for pid 3632
1/12 17:12:09 DaemonCore: pid 3633 exited with status 0, invoking reaper 1 <Daemons::AllReaper()>
1/12 17:12:09 The CKPT_SERVER (pid 3633) exited with status 0
1/12 17:12:09 All daemons are gone.  Restarting.
1/12 17:12:09 Restarting master in 120 seconds.
1/12 17:12:09 DaemonCore: return from reaper for pid 3633
1/12 17:14:09 Doing exec( "/usr/sbin/condor_master" )

Looking at the process table, condor_master is still the old one, only the
daemons are new. 

Since the node on which I ran the test was idle I didn't find out what would
happen with actually running user jobs, and now I'm a bit worried whether
there's a difference at all...

Would someone please shed some light on this?
