I agree with you, actually I'm not very happy with the solution either. From my perspective (by now)
I'd rather to keep the service running and then the user could restart it under supervision after
the upgrade is done than let it keeping failing under the upgrade where maybe the final user
would not notice it after something is on fire.
I'm looking forward to find a better solution for this.

 It's not a good idea try several fixes and (ab)use `git commit --amend` I lost control of
 some changes (related with the fix). Totally my bad, Sorry about this! I'll fix it in the next revision.

I have tried this however rpcbind keeps failing at upgrade after the workaround

Similar bug was filed two years ago upgrading to stretch:
