Rational behind RefuseManualStop=yes in auditd.service

Hi,

I would like to know the rational behind RefuseManualStop=yes in
auditd.service file.

I'm currently looking at upgrading the audit package in debian and
RefuseManualStop=yes is preventing the daemon to be restarted during
upgrade.

Looking at systemd.unit(5) manpage, I don't have the feeling that it
should be used in this case.

As a side note, it seems that the *.spec file is stopping the daemon in
the %preun so this could fail I guess?

Any thoughts on this?
