The -n option to start-stop-daemon does not create a PID file.  It changes
the matching logic for finding the process to kill (to use logic that
isn't allowed by Debian Policy).

start-stop-daemon cannot generate PID files for daemons that background
themselves.  It has no idea what the final PID file is.  The daemon has to
do so directly.
