Here after an install of libvirt-daemon-system (which has the snippet to reload)

Therefore this really is supposed to work.
It should stick with it's main PID and not restart intentionally, but get reloaded via SIGUSSR1.
And it should be visible in the logs.

So overall we came to the same conclusion, it does re-exec on reload and does so on install/upgrade.
I'll mark it incomplete until we know more about it because as such I can#t do any more for this bug.
