why does start-stop-daemon not support --chgid ?

[Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net>]

hello,

I have been looking at the start-stop-daemon for starting a program 
as non root, but I found that --chuid only changes the user id, and 
runs the process as gid 0 root, I think it would be better to be able 
to start the process not only as a different user but as a different 
group as well..

why does start-stop-daemon not support this?
