Reopening Apport task for improving the data in the report. It should have the list of omitted pids passed with -o, and the running processes (ps aux).

I added some set -x and "ps aux" to /etc/init.d/sendsigs, and found out the following:

 * plymouthd --mode=shutdown is always running
 * no process adds itself to sendsigs.omit{,.d} lists, which seems intended and correct
 * All of the actual omitted pids are gained from initctl list and filtering out its pids.
   - This always contains "/etc/init.d/rc 6" and hwclock.
   - This sometimes contains the plymouthd --mode=shutdown process, and sometimes not. In the latter case the apport hook is fired, and plymouthd actually gets killed by sendsigs.

So as far as I can see, "initctl list" sometimes does not show the pid of plymouthd --shutdown. Is it supposed to? If so, then that would be the bug. If initctl list is not reliable, then we need to find another approach to filter out upstart jobs in sendsigs.
