Hi,
look:
$ sudo debian/exim4-base.exim4.init start
Starting MTA: exim4.
$ sudo cat /var/run/exim4/exim.pid
8394
$ pstree -ap 8394
exim4,8394 -bd -q30m
$ sudo /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid --retry
5 --quiet --oknodo
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 8394: No such process
$ pstree -ap 8394
$ sudo cat /var/run/exim4/exim.pid
8394
$
I start an exim, verify that daemon and pid file exist, and then
invoke start-stop-daemon (as lsb-base's killproc() does).
start-stop-ademon kills the process and then complains that the
process does no longer exist.
This warning seems wrong and should not be given.
Greetings
Marc

It seems you filed this bug report twice (451531). Anyway this has
been fixed in dpkg 1.14.15:
* Do not print 'failed to kill' warning in start-stop-daemon when
polling the pid. Closes: #157305, #352554
Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
