Bug description:
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  Release:	22.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  ubiquity 22.04.16

  3) What you expected to happen
  `debsums -c` returns no error.

  4) What happened instead
  `debsums -c` returns the error of /sbin/start-stop-daemon

  We made the OEM jammy base image for Dell that contains dpkg
  1.21.1ubuntu2 and then use dell-recovery (Ubiquity plugin) fish
  mechanism to install/upgrade dpkg 1.21.1ubuntu2.1.

  Because Ubiquity will rename it to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL and provide a fake /sbin/start-stop-daemon during the installation.
  When installing newer dpkg, /sbin/start-stop-daemon will be replaced. However Ubiquity will rename /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL back to /sbin/start-stop-daemon after the installation.
  So /sbin/start-stop-daemon will be kept as the older one.
  That is why the issue happens.
