 This may be a re-open of a previous bug (387941).

 /etc/init.d/mini-httpd does not know about an alternative placement of the
 pidfile, forced by a /etc/mini-httpd.conf entry. Therefore the stop part
 of the script may fail to actually end the running daemon.

 Since the test for [ -e /var/run/$NAME/pid ] would fail in such a setup,
 the addition of an else branch, with start-stop-daemon --name $NAME
 would fix this, at the expense of a Terminated message that destroys
 the output formatting :(

BTW, the need to set START to *0* in /etc/default/mini-httpd is confusing
at least. (well, that's fixed in -6..., #454230, time to move on to Lenny)
