The basic idea here is that normally you shouldn't see any
bogons. Having -b the default is much like closing your eyes to
make yourself believe that the problem doesn't exist in the first
place. If you get a lot of bogons, something is broken with your
network (in some cases is intentional, like in a test lab), but I
guess it's not the majority of the cases.

The way of implementing your idea is correct, but last time I
checked start-stop-daemon it failed to stop a service started up
such way.
