If I understand your question, you don't have start-stop-daemon now,
right?
In your particular case, if /sbin/start-stop-daemon doesn't exist,
your install is hosed: this is included in the package of dpkg, the
Debian package manager. Try reinstalling dpkg and see if it fixes the
problem.
In general, the procedure is:
(1) install apt-file
(2) run "apt-file update"
(3) run "apt-file search <file>"
