Title:
  upgrade process should no rely on upstart service control

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upgrade-system

  When a service is not nice behaveing during upgrade process, the
  process is stalled.

  For me this happend with cups, which stalled at 'stop cups' the last
  two distribution upgrades and need to be killed by me manually while
  the upgrade.

  For a normal user, both these upgrades (10.04 to 10.10 and 10.10 to
  11.04) would have been dead.

  This may be cups' fault, but in the chaos of a system under upgrade
  conditions, I guess service restart / shutdown will not allways be
  reliable. So maybe the package management could timeout service
  restarts? Maybe that should not be done on upgrade-system, but every
  pre/postinstall?
