yes... /bin/start-stop-daemon is that actually where your start-stop-daemon
resides? It should be in /sbin ...at least in unstable it is...
it's trying to run /bin/start-stop-daemon and not /sbin/start-stop-daemon...
a quick fix would be to change the PATH statement to have /sbin first, but
something else is tweaked..
