I get the following error.

[jean-luc at tangerine] % sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
Stopping MTA:/sbin/start-stop-daemon: signal value must be numeric or 
name of signal (KILL, INT, ...)
Try /sbin/start-stop-daemon --help for more information.

Well. I've got the same symtoms with cpufreqd few days ago and IIRC, 
the message explicitly mentionned killproc.
As there have been many lsb update past few days (I just remarked I'm 
late also), I wanted to make a supposition it is related to killproc (I 
missed the ?, sorry).
