[Pkg-gnome-extras-maintainers] Bug#1144676: Upgrading gnome-terminal kills existing terminals

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.60.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: josh at joshtriplett.org

With previous versions of gnome-terminal, upgrading would take effect on
a subsequent run of gnome-terminal, but would not interrupt existing
terminals. However, with the new version of gnome-terminal, upgrading
kills all open gnome-terminal sessions; it appears that it restarts the
systemd user unit.

Please consider changing this to stop killing running terminals, which
may have valuable data or context in them.
