Really? pasting a man page to a mailing list?
But yes...
If we want to require presence of start-stop-daemon,
we could make all this somebody elses problem.
I need find some time to browse through the code
to see if it can be improved further.
But in any case, using (a tool like) start-stop-daemon consistently
throughout all RAs would improve the situation already.
Do we want to do that?
