upower is also affected by this particular issue, so I've cloned it.

Your proposed patch is not portable though, so it can't be used on non-linux
systems (upower is installable on non-linux, contrary to udisks).

We also need to kill upower/udisks when we uninstall the package (see #590013
and #590017).

Given this, patching upower/udisks to write a pid file is probably the cleanest
but also most invasive solution.

Another idea, I'd prefer over your proposed patch, is to test if the D-Bus names
for org.freedesktop.UDisks resp. org.freedesktop.UPower are taken (which should
not be the case in a chroot) and skip the restart if not.

Martin, what do you think?

Cheers,
Michael
