Isn't policy-rc.d a cleaner solution? AFAIK nothing in policy requires
a package to use start-stop-daemon, but it does say that maintainer
scripts [1]should use invoke-rc.d. pcmcia-cs, for example, does not
use start-stop-daemon, although I could change it to do that. Maybe
both techniques should be used since invoke-rc.d is not a strict
requirement yet.

[1] Actually, it says "should" at one place and "may" at another,
together with a "strongly recommended" and a footnote saying that it
will become a "must" in the future. See section 9.3.3 and 9.3.3.2.
