Hi,
snmpd ignores the variables defined in /etc/default/snmpd (note -Lsd, the
change is required to lessen the noise in syslog).
apt-cache policy snmpd

I'm not sure if this was fixed with bug #932775 or the next version
after that (if it was a restart problem) but snmpd not respecting what
is in the defaults file was fixed there.
The only other issue is if you are using systemd as this uses a
different method for updating the defaults.
