Okay. It seems my patch came too late... Too bad, I would like this patch merged
before the revert.

The main point of this patch is to add the -S argument to tell the server to
shutdown (and wait for its completion (bump)). But this part no longer applies
because the wrapper script has gone (master, next). So we should drop this patch
and the package as well.

(In case of we decide latter to come back to pseudo, we should remember to add
the -S argument to the wrapper script.)
