I see the problem. When I did the patch for Intrepid I didn't think I
had to handle upgrades from older broken versions, as the previous
Intrepid version of opencryptoki wasn't even installable. What I didn't
realise is that the Hardy version suffers the same bug, and people are
actually running this version and may upgrade from Hardy with it. So,
Hardy needs a similar patch to handle the upgrade from Hardy ->
Intrepid.

Currently, then old prerm script will always fail on Hardy -> Intrepid
upgrade. What I propose then is implementing the same patch for Hardy
SRU, but also adding a "failed-upgrade" action in the new prerm script,
which will terminate the pkcsslotd daemon independently of the init
script when upgrading from the older version. This should then allow a
successful Hardy -> Intrepid upgrade.

I don't mind working on that as long as nobody objects.
