Great!

As you know, I tend to think the problem fixed by this patch is not
worth the risks involved at this stage of the release process, but my
extra-carefulness does not extend to vetoing if there is a general
agreement with applying this patch before rc2.

I assume you wanted to write --pidfile, as --pid does not exist in my
copy of start-stop-daemon. Beware before s/pid/pidfile/, though:
given --pidfile presence/absence changes quite drastically the
behavior of start-stop-daemon, if the proposed patch works, then this
option is probably not needed, is it?
To end with, I have to say like the start-stop-daemon solution a lot.
Cheers,
