Bug#1218: xbase install fails

I'd be reluctant to arrange that by default start-stop-daemon exit
with a non-zero exit status when the file specified with --exec
doesn't exist. Doing so would make it harder to catch errors where
the file specified with --exec was wrong.
I agree.
I consider the problem a bug in xbase, so I'm making a new revision
which fixes it. This revision will check whether /usr/bin/X11/xdm
and /usr/bin/X11/xfs exist before running start-stop-daemon to stop
them. It will be available by this evening.
