man start-stop-daemon:

Any arguments given after -- on the  command
line are passed unmodified to the program being started.

А в Debian-пакете используется вот такой скриптик:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Fetchmail/fetchmail-ssl init script
# $Id: fetchmail.init,v 1.11 2001/04/11 05:58:22 hmh Exp $
#
# A fetchmailrc file containg hosts and passwords for all 
# local users should be placed in /etc/fetchmailrc
# and should contain a line of the form "set daemon <nnn>".
#
# Remember to make the /etc/fetchmailrc mode 600 to avoid
# disclosing the users' passwords
#
# This script will NOT start or stop fetchmail if the 
# /etc/fetchmailrc file does not exist.
#

set -e

DAEMON=/usr/bin/fetchmail
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

# Defaults
CONFFILE=/etc/fetchmailrc
OPTIONS="--daemon 300 --syslog --nobounce"

# Reads config file (will override defaults above)
[ -r /etc/default/fetchmail ] && . /etc/default/fetchmail

OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -f ${CONFFILE}"

# Tries to find a better place for the UIDL 
# cache than root's homedir
#
# change this to your heart's content.

if [ -d /var/mail ] ; then

/var/spool/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache"
fi

testconfig () {
	[ -r ${CONFFILE} ] || {
		echo "system-wide fetchmail not configured."
		exit 0
	}
}
