As it stands, when looking at an init script, seeing the command "start-stop-daemon" is akin to seeing the words "magic goes here, good luck debugging anything".
There are basically two questions: (1) is some kind of daemon management abstraction good, and (2) is a specific implementation (in this case start-stop-daemon) good to provide thi abstraction. Concerning the first question, your words would question the value of abstraction. I don't believe that's what you want to say. Hence, you probably think that the implementation of start-stop-daemon is so bad that using it harms more than its abstraction improves. meillo
