This is a general truth I totally agree with. But yet I didn't figure
what causes the problem. It seems to be specific to Ubuntu -- Debian
doesn't have this problem.

As Wim has already pointed out in bug #37117, starting the daemon by
start-stop-daemon manualla fails with the error message "Unable to set
gid to 115 (Operation not permitted)"

What do you suggest in detail? What line in which file?

Running the init script for starting the daemon without actually
starting the daemon is not an option.

Regards
