Typically in Debian start-stop-daemon is called from within the boot
time /etc/init.d/* scripts.  Typically those scripts will source
customization files from /etc/default/@DAEMONNAME@.  You did not say
but if your situation is typical then customizing the corresponding
/etc/default/ file will be the most normal way to do it.
