Bug#611614: libapache2-mod-shib2: /etc/init.d/shibd removes pidfile before (unsuccesful) attept to stop daemon

[Gabor Kiss]

Package: libapache2-mod-shib2
Version: 2.3.1+dfsg-4
Severity: minor

/etc/init.d/shibd script malfunctions when stopping or restarting shibd.
Function prepare_environment() is always called and it starts
su -s $DAEMON $DAEMON_USER -- -t $DAEMON_OPTS
i.e.
su -s /usr/sbin/shibd _shibd -- -t -f -c /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml -p /var/run/shibboleth/shibd.pid -w 30
Unfortunately this action leads to early removal of pidfile therefore
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON
fails and does not stop shibd.
