I've noticed that when I update a package, the exe's in it get killed. For
example, when emacs gets updated, my running emacsen die.
Is this something that setup explicitly does, for all packages? Or that some
packages do for themselves in a preremove script? Or just a byproduct of
replacing a running exe?
