Bitlbee Start/Stop script in Debian doesn't stop bitlbee

Description
I'm using Bitlbee 3.03 rev821 (using libpurple) in Debian Squeeze. The init script in /etc/init.d/bitlbee doesn't stop bitlbee.
The reason seems to be that when bitlbee starts, it forks a child, but when the parent is killed, the child continues to run.

Correct, and you don't want the child to be restarted IMHO.
There's also another bug though, and maybe that one's bothering you here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638884

By default bitlbee forks a child for every client connected, so this instance will be running until the clients disconnects. If you want to kill all the clients with the init script you should run bitlbee in Daemon mode. This can be achieved by setting RunMode = Daemon in bitlbee.conf
