Package: pdns-recursor
Version: 3.1.4-4
Severity: minor

pdns_recursor has daemon=yes as default configuration, it seems.
This means that it's not possible to debug it from the command line
without changing the configuration:

seamus# /usr/sbin/pdns_recursor --trace

Aug 29 10:51:08 Calling daemonize, going to background

The behaviour is the same whether daemon=yes is set, or daemon= is
commented out in /etc/powerdns/recursor.conf. Since it makes little
sense to say daemon=no in the configuration file, I suggest that
pdns_recursor should, by default, *not* daemonise.
