Bug Description

From my trusty machine:

$ sudo service saned start ; sudo service saned stop ; sudo service saned status
Starting SANE network scanner server: saned.
Stopping SANE network scanner server: saned.
saned is not running, but pidfile existed.

Running the status call once more after that will reveal that the PID file is now gone.
