Hello Russel!

Can you reproduce this in a clean installation? Can you provide exact
steps how to reproduce this?

What does `find /etc/mysql -ls` yield?
What it the contents of debian-sys-maint ? Is it for example empty?

What does `mysql -e "SELECT Host,User,plugin,authentication_string
FROM user;" mysql` yield?

I suspect that since debian-sys-maint is broken (and it should not
even be needed, since root has unix_socket auth access anyway) the
mysqladmin command fails to run and thus restarting server fails as
mysqladmin did not gracefully shutdown existing mysqld processes.
