Bug#253265: [S-S-D] Please add '--pid' option

[Thomas Hood <jdthood@yahoo.co.uk>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.22
Severity: wishlist

For some purposes it would be useful to be able to give the PID
to start-stop-daemon directly, using a "--pid=12345" option,
rather than via a pidfile and "--pidfile=/path/to/file".  Of course
one can use "kill", but then one can't make use of s-s-d's "--retry"
feature.
