The whole bug is a mess. The original bug was about some upgrade not stopping
snmpd propperly. With 5.4.1~dfsg-12, the upgrade won't fail anymore, however if
snmpd fails to stop, the old version will still be running after the upgrade.

Later someone posted a followup with a duplicate of #391203.

Thanks for letting me know. The issue (and both bugs) should be resolved now.
